Damen has developed the FLOW-SV vessel concept that can accelerate the development of floating wind farm installation, the company said. The Damen 492'×105' FLOW-SV is specially designed to install ground tackles for offshore turbine floaters. The vessel can load the immense lengths of chain needed to install and secure nine anchors or suction piles, Damen said. Instead of mooring one floating windmill in a mission, three can be secured. Secured at all three corners, a floater needs three ground tackles."With the FLOW-SV, we have developed a vessel which covers the entire process of attaching mooring lines," Wijtze van der Leij, Damen's sales manager, offshore wind, said in a statement. "This vessel, combining the supply, installation, securing and inspection of the ground tackles for floating turbines in one vessel, introduces a big step forward towards large-scale installation of floating windfarms." |
