Bourbon Subsea Services to install 3 Floating Wind Turbines

Bourbon Subsea Services has been selected by Windplus to install 3 floating wind turbines of 8.3 MW, 20 km off Viana do Castelo, Portuguese coast. These turbines, with a total capacity of 25 MW, are the most powerful in the floating offshore wind industry. The project includes project management, engineering and the procurement of the complete mooring system (supplied by Vryhof).

The wind turbines will be then towed to the offshore site and hooked up in a second phase, which will also include the installation and hook up of the inter-array electrical cables. BOURBON will provide a variety of marine assets required for the different phases of the operations, including AHTS, tugs and ROVs.

With strong experience in mooring installation of floating wind turbines, the Bourbon Subsea Services project team will work closely with WindPlus, Vryhof and Principle Power, designer of the floating foundations, to ensure the successful delivery of this project.
