BBRG selected as mooring line supplier

Thursday, January 27 2022

Wind Energy – mooring

Gazelle Wind Power has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bridon-Bekaert Ropes Group (BBRG), to supply its advanced mooring lines for Gazelle’s first-of-its-kind dynamic mooring system.

BBRG will serve as the supplier of mooring lines for Gazelle’s initial 2MW pilot plant at the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN).

Gazelle and BBRG further plan to develop a +15MW platform based on Gazelle’s unique hybrid floating wind technology.

“In order to unlock the massive offshore wind market, we have to significantly reduce the LCOE while making platforms lighter and easier to assemble. BBRG’s unique global experience and advanced offshore rope solution technology was the last critical piece we needed to deploy our unique hybrid dynamic mooring system. They bring the technical know-how not only for our pilot plant but will play a key role for our larger – 15MW plus – systems,” said Gazelle CEO Pierpaolo Mazza.

Gazelle’s innovative hybrid attenuated mooring platform splits the ‘two classical functions’ of buoyancy and stability to produce a light, durable, and cost-effective platform that can be deployed in deeper waters further out at sea.
