From bottom fixed to floating offshore applications
Floating offshore wind turbines are now entering the world stage with the potential to become a relevant part of the Business because they remove the restriction of being installed in shallow waters and also have a major advantage as they are assembled in the port and then towed to the site by an ordinary tugboat, which can also tow them back to shore for heavy maintenance or final dismantling. Energy demand is growing, wind turbine generators are growing in size thanks to progress in technology and they are located further away from shore: hence the need for dynamic cables.
