Wind Energy – Floating Wind
Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines is going to invest in Dutch floating wind technology developer TouchWind and will obtain a minority share in the company.
With a financial investment, field testing of TouchWind’s tilting angled one-piece rotor floating wind turbine can be expanded as well as new research into positive wake effects.
Founder and CEO of TouchWind, Rikus van de Klippe welcomes MOL as shareholder in TouchWind: “We have been working together for over a year now on the further development of our floating wind turbine. Field testing with a 6m diameter rotor is in full preparation. With MOL as a shareholder and their investments we can speed up our testing programme, prove our technology and reduce time to market.”
