Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to movable offshore platforms for installing wind turbines, and methods of forming the same. The movable offshore platforms are offshore platforms which were previously used in hydrocarbon production, such as jack-up units. The movable offshore platforms may be decommissioned and retrofitted with equipment for installing wind turbines. The movable offshore platforms may be American-made or otherwise Jones Act compliant. Methods of forming the same are also included.
