Content
The offshore wind energy, in particular, has experienced remarkable growth and continues to expand world-wide. Fixed offshore turbines are limited to shallow waters near shores.

Floating turbines in deep water, however, offer some distinct advantages over fixed structures, including:
- access to more powerful wind resources farther offshore,
- elimination of visual impact,
- further flexibility in site selection
- a versatile, integrated hull design solution that can be applied at different sites, and (v) easier installation procedure.
