This study aims to prepare for the development of an asset information model to increase traceability in offshore wind projects. The goal of the information modelling framework is to increase information flow between projects as well as the quality of the project delivery. Literature review describes traceability in a wide variety of cases and industries, and points to both challenges and benefits with the definition and implementation of traceability practices. However, a successfully maintained asset information model can help engineers make quick and well-designed development decisions and solutions. The development of an asset information model shall contribute to an accelerated design process with higher accuracy and less deviations. Being able to create a product that answers the relevant stakeholders' expectations in a more accurate and efficient way can give the company a valuable advantage in a competitive market. Furthermore, a research design has been defined to form the basis for further research in the spring 2022 semester.
