Flintstone Technology sets sights on floating wind
Oil and Gas industry moorings specialist Flintstone Technology Ltd is diversifying its market-leading operations to help drive down costs for the offshore floating wind industry.
Flintstone has developed a set of mooring system solutions to match specific project requirements in oil and gas and marine renewable energy.
With decades of experience in the oil and gas industry, this knowledge combined with the mooring solutions, is transferable and provides substantial benefits to offshore floating wind in lowering costs and increasing reliability.
According to Scottish Enterprise, Europe is forecast to build around 25GW of offshore wind capacity by the end of the decade, worth an estimated £60 billion in capital and operational expenditure over the next five years.
Andrew Clayson, managing director of Flintstone, will be presenting on the ‘development and implementation of a subsea tensioned mooring system’ on the opening day of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT 2018), which takes place in Marseille, France, from April 25-27.
As part of MacGregor and the Cargotec group, Flintstone brings substantial resources, knowledge and experience in many aspects of the offshore marine market including cranes, handling systems and personnel transfer.
