Deepsea Star™ selected for the GoliatVIND wind park in the Barents Sea

By Odfjell Oceanwind Apr 26, 2023

Odfjell Oceanwind’s floating wind foundation Deepsea Star™ has been selected for the GoliatVIND wind park located in the Barents Sea which is currently under planning. The project is being matured by a consortium consisting of Source Galileo and Odfjell Oceanwind and is aiming at installing three to five floating wind units, each carrying a 15MW wind turbine generator, with an earliest operational startup in 2026.

How do you assess the maturity of a floating offshore wind design?

By Elin Crombie Feb 23, 2023

With advancements in technology and engineering, and not least political interest, there are now a variety of different floating wind technologies being promoted, each with its own unique design and approach to capturing wind energy. These range from simple floating platforms attached to the seabed, to innovative designs such as semi-submersible and spar-buoy concepts. However, few if any of these designs have so far been proven in full scale for large wind turbine generators. Many of them only exist as computer rendered images at an early stage of development. The designs that have come furthest have begun to involve the classification societies.
