Mooreast Anchors for Floating Offshore Wind Project in Japan
Mooreast will supply 9 units of 20-ton Mooreast MA5P anchor for a floating wind turbine demonstration project operating in the sea of Kitakyushu next year.
This project is initiated by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Glocal Inc., a Japanese company, who is one of the consortium members of this demonstration project, decided to introduce Mooreast MA5P anchors for the project.
The delivery is set to be in the first quarter 2017. Mooreast will also assist Glocal in the anchor installation. The anchors will be fabricated at Mooreast’s facility in Singapore.
The project was awarded to Mooreast after the company was qualified by NEDO, following the product performance evaluation and offshore testing in Japan conducted by Glocal last year.
