Fukushima Floating Offshore Wind Project Progressing
Heavy Industries, Japan Marine United, Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal, Hitachi, Furukawa Electric, Shimizu, and Mizuho Information & Research. Assembly work on the 7MW oil pressure drive-type wind turbine on the three-column semi-sub floater at Onahama port has been completed, and delivery of the floater to testing area is scheduled to start shortly as part of the second term. Construction work in the second term includes assembly and setting of 7MW oil pressure drive-type and 5MW downwind-type floating wind turbines, delivery of the facilities
Experimental Floating Wind Farm Nears Installation
in March 2012, the Fukushima experimental offshore floating wind farm project sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is nearing the installation phase as preparatory works for the installation of the 7MW oil pressure drive-type wind turbine on the three-column semi-sub floater at Onahama port, Fukushima, are almost completed and delivery from Nagasaki to Onahama has started today. Participating in the experiment is a consortium comprised of Marubeni (project integrator), the University of Tokyo (technical advisor), Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan Marine United, Mitsui

in progress. Going forward the schedule calls for the laying of chains and anchors at the testing area, as well as the hipping, laying and burying the undersea cable at the testing area from June to late August. In early December the wind turbine will be mounted on three-column semi-sub at Onahama port
