Companies like Acteon that have extensive experience in both towing and mooring oil rigs and other offshore assets can apply mooring technology and marine installation methodologies directly to floating wind projects and provide obvious synergies as a unique installation contractor for floating wind projects, lowering installation costs and avoiding simultaneous operations conflicts with other contractors.Īssembling the parts of the floating wind system in port also means minimizing highly weather dependent operations such as offshore heavy lifts.
HYWIND FLOATING FOUNDATION INSTALL
One of the major cost benefits of floating wind systems is a lesser reliance on large and expensive installation vessels.Ĭontrary to fixed turbines which require heavy lift vessels to install the foundations, transport and assemble the parts on-site, and erect the turbine, floating turbine platforms are assembled in port and towed to site with the help of tugs and anchor handling vessels, which can bring about significant cost savings. More efficient installation and maintenance This blog examines the benefits of floating wind and how Acteon can assist with the development of such projects. As part of Net-Zero goals and ambitious energy transition objectives, offshore wind projects are multiplying around the world and floating wind systems are allowing the industry to move farther offshore towards greater water depths. According to Quest FWE, over $33 billion in floating offshore wind contract awards will occur over the next five years.
