It is the first V164 Platform Semi-submersible Floating Wind Farm in UK Waters and upon completion will be the worlds’ largest Offshore Floating Wind Farm to-date.
This is following successful pre-assembly and installation support by Global Wind Service to MHI Vestas Offshore Wind for 25MW WindFloat Atlantic Offshore Wind Farm during late 2019 / early 2020.
