Mooreast to Anchor Floating Offshore Wind Farm in Southern France
an order to supply its proprietary anchors for Eolmed pre-commercial floating offshore wind farm.Mooreast has partnered with French installation contractor Bourbon Offshore to supply Mooreast’s MA5S mooring drag anchors for the Eolmed project located off the Port-La Nouvelle and Gruissan in Southern France.Bourbon will provide transport and installation services to the 30MW pre-commercial project, which is being developed by Qair, a European independent energy company, with TotalEnergies and floating technology supplier BW Ideol.Up to 35 tonnes each, the anchors command a holding power of up to
Eolmed Floating Wind Farm Starts Taking Shape in Mediterranean Sea
Bourbon Subsea Services has installed a floating electrical hub (FEH) at the Eolmed floating offshore wind farm in France, completing the first stage of the 30 MW project.The FEH for the pilot floating farm was installed off Portla-Nouvelle in southern France in fall 2023.This project will involve three 10 MW-rated wind turbines, supplied by Vestas, that will be capable of producing more than 110 million kWh/year by 2025, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 50,000 inhabitants.The FEH will be connected to the three wind turbines on one side and the shore connection cable on the other
Asso's Trenching Fleet to depend on Sonardyne for Underwater Guidance
year, Asso won a contract to install the 66 kV export and inter-array cables on Vattenfall’s 350 MW Vesterhav Nord and Syd projects. The company was also awarded a contract, in consortium with Prysmian Group, to install the export cable system for the Gruissan floating offshore windfarm in southern France
CASE STUDY: Nortek, Alseamar aim to make Oceanographic Data more Accessible
to pack as much instrumentation on to a glider as possible and get the most out of its on-board battery.The ADCP-equipped glider has proved its accuracy in a number of different environments.Current profiles obtained by the ADCP on the SeaExplorer glider across 60 km in the Mediterranean Sea off southern France correlate with temperature, salinity and chlorophyll measurements taken by the glider at the same time. The ADCP was also able to measure tidal currents in considerable detail through the depth profile in the Atlantic off northwest France.Current profiles acquired by a SeaExplorer glider equipped
Prysmian, Asso.subsea to Deliver Export Cable for French Floating Wind Farm
subsea cable maker Prysmian Group together with subsea installation firm Asso.subsea, has signed a contract with RTE, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité, for the development of an export subsea power cable system for the Gruissan floating offshore wind farm located in Southern France.Prysmian will be responsible for the design, supply, termination, testing, and commissioning of one 66 kV three-core export submarine cable with EPR insulation for a total of 25 km and attached another 66kV submarine dynamic cables with EPR insulation for about 1 km connecting the shore to a
MORPH Robots Tested in France
During the week from July 22-27, 2013 tomorrow’s underwater robots were tested at the European center of Underwater Technologies, located at Ifremer, the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea, located near Toulon, in Southern France. The tests were carried out by research engineers in the scope of a four-year-research-program named MORPH (Marine Robotic System of Self-Organizing, Logically Linked Physical Nodes). Launched in February 2012, MORPH is funded by the European Commission with a budget of €8.5 million. 32 researchers from five countries and nine
