Seatrium wins approval for floating semi-submersible

The design, Seatrium says, is intended to support the new 15MW generation of offshore wind turbines, with pontoons on three sides and a central column that supports the wind turbine. It is optimised for efficient fabrication and cost-effectiveness while being capable of handling harsh environments.

Images had not been released of the design at the time of writing.

“ABS is supporting the full lifecycle of offshore renewable projects, particularly in Europe and Asia where floating offshore wind power will be an important piece of the overall energy mix. ABS is proud to work with pioneering companies like Seatrium who share our pursuit of innovation and safety at sea,” said Rob Langford, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore Renewables.
