LOC Completes MWS Role on Windfloat Atlantic Project

LOC Renewables, a division of LOC Group, the premier international marine and engineering consulting firm, recently completed its role as Marine Warranty Surveyor ("MWS") on the Windfloat Atlantic Project.

The project involved a single Self-Propelled Modular Transporter ("SPMT") loadout and float-off for one floater in the port of Ferrol, Spain. LOC then oversaw the integration of MVOW 8.4MW Wind Turbine Generators' ("WTGs") onto floaters in the port of Ferrol, Spain.

LOC also provided MWS services for the installation of the mooring systems, the sail away from Ferrol, arrival on site and hook-up to moorings and the installation of array cabling including pull-in of the dynamic riser.

The project spanned from 2019 to June 2020, with LOC working alongside Windplus S.A.

Commenting, Peter Croll Renewables Technical Director of LOC Group, commented:

"We are very pleased to have concluded our works on the Windfloat Atlantic Project.  Whilst this was a very challenging project, due to the deep-water location, it was a fascinating one to be involved in, and LOC's role within the installation team contributed to the successful outcome.

Working on this project reaffirms our reputation of having long-term marine experience with floaters and subsea infrastructure, leaving us well positioned to support other floating offshore wind technology projects in the future."
