London Marine Consultants (LMC) have been awarded funding from Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to develop our “Plug & Play” Mooring System for Floating Wind.
The system shall allow a de-coupling of the offshore mooring installation campaign from the platform hook-up, thereby reducing risk, offering schedule advantage, and ultimately contributing towards a reduction in LCOE.
The system shall also provide a safe and robust method for disconnection and protection of the mooring and cable system, to support a tow-to-port strategy for maintenance.
During the development this year we shall be performing basin model tests in collaboration with University of Plymouth, and scale function tests.
So watch this space for updates!
