Offshore wind set a record in 2021, with China boosting overall capacity alongside dayrates and utilisation, Clarksons says.

The shipbroker's research arm said on Wednesday that offshore wind produced 50.5 GW of power by the end of the year, rising 58% from 2020.

China added 16 GW, much of which came in the last two months of the year ahead of the expiry of a government subsidy programme.
