Deepsea Semi™ floating wind foundation wins DNV's Approval in Principle

DNV has awarded Odfjell Oceanwind an Approval in Principle (“AiP”) for the Deepsea Semi™ floating wind foundation design. This design has been developed for use in floating wind farms and for off-grid applications including temporary electrification of oil and gas installations in harsh environments.

The Deepsea Semi™ foundation is dimensioned for wind turbine generators up to 15MW and is optimised for low cost, industrial mass-production. The design basis supports all areas for floating wind farms currently planned in the North Atlantic region, including Scotwind and Utsira Nord, and covers a range of 60 to 1300 meters water depth. It is optimised for Siemens Gamesa’s SG 11.0-200 DD and SG 14.0-222 DD offshore wind turbines and is undergoing classification and... ... More: Official Press Release Odfjell Oceanwind
