A consortium based in southwest England, led by Morek Engineering<\/strong>, has unveiled the design of a floating wind installation vessel. This project is supported by the UK’<\/strong>s CMDC4 program<\/strong>, which aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the maritime sector. <\/p>\n\n

Morek Engineering’s floating wind turbine installation vessel<\/h2>\n\n

The Future Floating Installation Vessel<\/strong>(FFIV<\/em>) has been designed to address an under-optimized segment of offshore installation: the deployment of mooring systems<\/strong>.

The FFIV <\/strong>is capable of performing operations with the three types of anchors<\/strong> recognized by the floating wind industry: drag anchors<\/em>, suction piles<\/em> and driven piles<\/em>. In all cases, it has the function of installing the mooring lines prior to the connection of the floating foundations, optimizing offshore times. <\/p>\n\n

To maximize its capacity, the vessel integrates a below-deck cable storage tank<\/strong> and large-volume chain lockers. This allows it to handle large quantities of synthetic ropes and steel chains, important elements in floating wind farms. floating wind farms<\/a><\/strong> new-generation floating wind farms. <\/p>\n\n

The design includes azimuth thrusters<\/strong>, a hydrodynamic hull<\/strong> and a dynamic positioning system<\/strong> optimized to reduce drag and fuel consumption. These factors, combined with the use of methanol, allow for efficient and sustainable operation. <\/p>\n\n

The initiative brings together experienced players: Solis Marine Engineering<\/strong>, Tope Ocean<\/strong>, First Marine Solutions<\/strong> and Celtic Sea Power<\/strong>, plus Morek Engineering<\/strong> as the lead representative. Collaboration has been essential to align technical requirements with the UK’s climate objectives. <\/p>\n\n
