Market projections show that, as new regional markets emerge, offshore wind growth will continue apace and it is also going to diversify. There has been an increase in the number of floating wind projects emerging worldwide. We are also confident that our co-operation on technology development will lead to further successes to both HHI and BV within the developing renewable energy and floating offshore wind technology sectors, which will play a major role in the fight against climate change.” This announcement demonstrates the importance of this technology, which will enable the development of future clean energy with zero carbon emissions, while managing risks of floating offshore wind farm development with efficient and safe operation of large scale wind turbines. Ltd for the design of its Hi-Float floating offshore wind turbine foundation. We also promise that HHI Group will encourage new value creation to lead the market, responding to customers’ desire for the achievement of net zero emissions'.Īlex Gregg-Smith, Executive Vice President for Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore, commented: “Bureau Veritas is proud of the successful completion of this AiP with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. These projects are part of our continuous endeavours and commitment to a sustainable future that is aligned with HHI Group’s ESG vision, ‘Beyond Blue Forward to Green’. In addition, Hi-Float provides higher productivity considering the construction yard infrastructure and efficiency of marine operations. Seon Mook Lim, Executive Vice President of HHI, said: 'Obtaining the AiP for these innovative floating offshore wind turbine foundations is a meaningful technological milestone that will enable our solutions to contribute to the global decarbonisation effort. The good performance of Hi-Float in offshore environment was verified through numerical analysis and wave basin model testing. A passive ballast system ensures that risk is kept to a minimum during offshore operations. The offshore floating wind substructure Hi-Float is designed to support a 10 MW wind turbine with proven semi-submersible and mooring technology.īased on HHI’s vast experience with offshore projects, the offshore floating wind substructure Hi-Float is designed to support a 10 MW wind turbine with proven semi-submersible and mooring technology.
