Wind Energy – Floating Wind
China-based Blue Offshore Wind (BOW) is developing a large investment portfolio to serve worldwide demand for Floating Offshore Wind.
They are intending to built six vessels each 254.8 metres in length, 79.8 metres wide and 14 metres in depth, with a deadweight of 60,000 tonnes.
Blueocean signed the design contract with Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (Sdari) on May 12 in Shanghai.
BOW is a private company and owns six newly built fabrication yards along the Chinese coast, all equipped with giant gantry cranes and deep water wet docks.
The semi-submersible vessels will be used for transporting floating wind platforms from Chinese yards to projects worldwide, with a focus on Europe.
The investment per vessel is estimated on $165m.
