2H Offshore’s Post

A very #interesting read from Acteon Group Ltd. discussing the potential of #nylon moorings. Like many #innovations which will help drive down the #cost of #floatingoffshorewind, the sum of all these technologies #combined will be #greater than any one solution on its own. Just imagine, a #swiftanchor from SCHOTTEL Marine Technologies which can resist vertical mooring loads paired with a nylon mooring line and the huge #benefits that this could offer from reducing cost, pressure on #supplychain, #environmentalimpact to seabed and most importantly, a reduction in #carbon and the reliance on #fossilfuels. At the end of the day, this is what we are trying to #achieve isn't it?

As floating wind developers look to reduce mooring system weight and to improve installation efficiency, a question came up: could nylon rope be a better option for floating offshore wind? 2H Offshore the independent Advanced Systems Engineering brand of Acteon, did the comparison: see the difference in the floater’s response depending on whether you use nylon or polyester moorings. ➡️ Read more here about the economic difference as well: https://hubs.ly/Q02mvmqS0 #floatingoffshorewind #mooring #nylon #polyester

Finding more cost-effective solutions that do NOT compromise safety and performance is at the core of what we do. 💰 Have you checked out this blog yet? It outlines our conclusions on using nylon vs. polyester in floating wind moorings. 🌊 ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02yd5c60 #FOW #floatingwind #offshorewind #mooring

Coastal oil rigs globally can be #recommissioned as spaceports. After fully emptying #offshore and deep shore wells oil platforms should be converted into spaceports for reusable #rockets. Idea from the Spaceport Company. #ports #transportation #space #exploration #energy #fuels #oil #wells #tubes

Pile run during installation could have profound consequences for offshore wind projects ranging from the uncontrolled drop of the piling hammer resulting in dynamic snatch loads on the crane, and in extreme cases, complete loss of the pile. 🌊Acteon Group develops robust installation solutions to minimise and mitigate the risk of pile run. Location-specific driving plans are developed, detailing geotechnical installation risk at each location and hammer operations recommendations. 🤝Learn how we can support your project: https://hubs.ly/Q02Bnc8S0 #pilerun #hammers #fixedwind #offshorewind

QUIZ: Which of the following foundation types is typically use to anchor Offshore Wind Turbines to the seabed? ① Concrete Pillars ② Steel Monopiles ③ Wooden Floats Check the comment section next Friday for the answer!

In April the offshore installation vessel Orion (DEME Group) completed the installation of 29 monopile foundations for the 15 MW turbines at Ocean Winds' Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland, despite challenging winter conditions. The project, which will produce 882 MW of energy, marks a significant milestone with advanced tools like the Quad Vibro Hammer and M90 bolting equipment. Heavy equipment used in offshore lifting operations requires delicate handling. Synthetic round slings, such as Enduro Softslings, are lightweight and significantly reduce the risk of damaging expensive tools and materials. Additionally, these slings require minimal deck space for storage and are easier for riggers to handle, which helps streamline operations where time is always a critical factor. Learn more about our heavy-duty HMPE softslings on our website https://lnkd.in/eNTX_-sF or let our product specialists advise you on technical questions and challenges.
