    Cost EffectiveAdvances in technology

    allow utility-scale offshorewind to be cost-competitive

    with a new fossil plant

    New turbines, such as

    the Siemens 6.0-154

    shown here, produce

    much more energy than

    turbines made only afew years ago.

    Service Vessel

    Built in RI

    Deepwater contracted with Rhode Island Fast Ferry (Quonset, Rhode Island) to build

    a state of the art crew transfer vessel

    Rhode Island Fast Ferry contracted with Blount Boats (Warren, Rhode Island) to

    build the vessel

    The crew transfer vessel is a 70 catamaran with a tier 3 engine and custom bow to

    safety and efficiently transport workers from the Quonset to the Block Island Wind

    Installation

    No U.S. Vessel has the capacity to install the 6MW GE Haliade turbines

    DWW contracted with Fred Olsen (Norway) to use the Bold Tern to

    install turbines at the Block Island Wind Farm site

    DWW contracted with Montco Offshore (Houston, Texas) to use two

    jack-up vessels to shuttle components from the Logistic Hub in ProvPort

    to the offshore site.

    Wind energy will reduceemissions and energy prices

    This effect, called pricesuppression has been welldocumented by NYSERDA for

    wind farms upstate

    Because Long Island has higheremissions and energy prices,offshore wind will have an evengreater benefit than wind farmsupstate

    A majority of voters statewide and on Long Island strongly support the

    development of offshore wind power at least 12 to 15 miles off the coast of

    Long Island

    Would you support or oppose the development of offshore wind power in the ocean at least 12 to 15 miles

    off the coast of Long Island?
