History

Scorpio Bulkers was founded in 2013 and completed its underwritten initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. [2] In August 2020, the company announced its transition from the dry bulk commodity transportation business to marine-based renewable energy. [5] The company’s decision to invest in a wind turbine installation vessel came as a surprise for the market. [6]

In 2020 Scorpio Bulkers lost more than $600 million due to impairments on ships sold or put up for sale. [7] Star Bulk took on seven Scorpio Bulkers’ ships seeking to capitalize on the company’s exit from dry bulk. [8]

In February 2021, the company’s name change to Eneti Inc. was approved at an extraordinary general meeting. [9] Company’s exit from dry bulk sector and name change is seen as a part of its transition to a sustainable future. [10] Eneti’s Board of Directors authorized the company to sell its remaining dry bulk vessels during 2021. [11]

The company signed shipbuilding contract with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering for the construction of two next generation wind turbine installation vessel to be delivered in 2024 and 2025. [12] [13]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Floating wind turbine</span> Type of wind turbine

A floating wind turbine is an offshore wind turbine mounted on a floating structure that allows the turbine to generate electricity in water depths where fixed-foundation turbines are not feasible. Floating wind farms have the potential to significantly increase the sea area available for offshore wind farms, especially in countries with limited shallow waters, such as Spain, Portugal, Japan, France and the United States' West Coast. Locating wind farms further offshore can also reduce visual pollution, provide better accommodation for fishing and shipping lanes, and reach stronger and more consistent winds.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Offshore wind power</span> Wind turbines in marine locations for electricity production

Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the generation of electricity through wind farms in bodies of water, usually at sea. There are higher wind speeds offshore than on land, so offshore farms generate more electricity per amount of capacity installed. Offshore wind farms are also less controversial than those on land, as they have less impact on people and the landscape.
