Offshore Wind Logistics Software for Marine Contractors

You run CTVs, SOVs, and installation vessels for wind farm developers. Each campaign generates port calls, crew transfers, vendor invoices, and developer billing that needs to reconcile before month-end. Base connects your vessel operations and your project financials so your shore team closes books without chasing spreadsheets.

What a CTV Campaign Looks Like on Spreadsheets

Your ops team logs crew transfers in one spreadsheet. Your finance team tracks port fees and fuel in another. Your project manager reconciles both against the developer contract in a third. When the developer asks for last month’s cost breakdown by vessel, someone spends half a day pulling numbers from four different files. The version they get is already a week old.

Your First Quarter Running an Offshore Wind Campaign on Base

No rip-and-replace. Start with one campaign and let the system build depth as your team works.

Day 1

Your vessel registry and charge codes import.

Base pulls your fleet, your developer rate cards, and your vendor records from a spreadsheet export. You review the mapping before anything goes live.

Week 1

Your ops team stops double-entering port call data.

Port calls, crew transfers, and vessel moves create charges automatically. Your shore team reviews and approves instead of typing into a second spreadsheet.

Month 1

Your developer sees invoices as charges are approved.

Base Connect gives your developer the same audit trail you see. The back-and-forth email thread on charge disputes stops.

Quarter 1

Your books close five days faster.

Every charge has a digital trail from PO to payment. Month-end close moves from reconciling spreadsheets to reviewing a report that is already current.

What Is Offshore Wind Logistics Software?

Offshore wind logistics software manages the financial and operational complexity of running vessels for wind farm construction and maintenance. It connects fleet management, port call tracking, vendor invoicing, and developer billing in one platform so marine contractors stop reconciling spreadsheets across campaigns. Base handles the layer between your developer contracts and your accounting system.

Three Reasons Offshore Wind Contractors Hesitate

"We already use SeaPlanner or Kraken for vessel scheduling."

Base handles the financial layer, not the scheduling layer. Your CTV dispatch tool plans the voyages. Base tracks the charges, invoices, and payments those voyages generate. They complement each other.

"Our campaigns span multiple countries and currencies."

Base supports multi-currency charge tracking across any number of regions. Port fees, vendor rates, and developer billing each operate in their own currency. Reporting consolidates to your base currency.

"Our developer has their own portal for cost approvals."

Base Connect gives developers a read-only view of your charges and invoices. If they prefer their own portal, export the data. Either way, your team stops emailing spreadsheets for approval.

Developer Billing from the Charges Already on the Record

Each offshore wind campaign tracks costs by vessel, by phase, and by charge type. When the milestone hits, generate the invoice from charges your team already approved. Your developer sees the same breakdown you do through Base Connect. Xero or QuickBooks sync posts every charge with full campaign context.

Walk through a real wind farm campaign using your vessel fleet, your developer rate cards, and your charge codes. We will show you how port call charges roll up per vessel and how developer invoices generate from approved charges.

“We used to spend the first three days of every month building the developer invoice from scratch. Now we export it from the charges the team already approved during the month.”

Stop Emailing Cost Breakdowns to Your Developer

Offshore wind contractors that run their campaign financials in Base typically close their books five days faster within the first quarter because vessel charges, vendor invoices, and developer billing share the same campaign record.
