Wind power is one of the fastest-growing forms of renewable energy. Global demand for power from offshore wind farms is expected to change the way offshore operators and transfer providers consider workforce safety and how they procure critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

In the white paper exploring subscription-based rental and the future of offshore PPE, Survitec HeliPPE, the trusted PPE rental brand to the offshore wind industry, highlights how digital capabilities and alignment of supply chains play a crucial role in solving the growth challenges faced by the industry.

Reconfiguring PPE from a traditional purchase to a subscription-based model could pay financial and environmental dividends through a more circular approach, which enhances cost efficiencies and optimises project downtime.

Rental PPE offers a more sustainable solution

Renting PPE reduces the need for significant stockpiling and is a more sustainable solution"

Mads Enemark Nørgreen, the Head of Business Development at Survitec HeliPPE, said “The increased focus on climate change, carbon footprint and responsible resource management all add to the virtues of subscription PPE. Renting PPE reduces the need for significant stockpiling and is a more sustainable solution.

He adds, “Instead of a purchased PPE set being in use for 3-5 months a year, rental PPE is constantly at work. It is similar to a shared, circular economy whereby durable and well-made products increase the product life span and saves on expenditure in the long term.

Mads Enemark Nørgreen continues, “The flexibility offered by suppliers to the industry is changing and for the benefit of wind farm operators. Renting the necessary equipment flexibly on either a weekly or monthly rate affords the operator the option to scale up or down with minimum notice at any time.

Common practice of subscription-based rental schemes

He further stated, “The common practice of subscription-based rental schemes is prominent in the automotive, entertainment, and hospitality industries. We have adopted this approach by offering flexibility for you, but also ensuring you have the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art kit available - whenever and wherever you need it.

Survitec’s white paper delves into how this approach has been pivoted to meet the rising global demand for energy and supports government targets in increasing their wind energy output.
