Mooreast wins anchor supply order for Eolmed project
The order marks Mooreast's 15th offshore wind-related project.
Mooreast Holdings secured an order to supply its proprietary anchors for Eolmed, a pre-commercial floating offshore wind farm in Southern France.
The offshore wind farm is a project developed by Qair, a European independent energy company, with TotalEnergies and floating technology supplier BW Ideol.
Mooreast, in partnership with Bourbon Offshore, will supply the wind farm MA5S mooring drag anchors, whilst the latter will provide transport and installation services to the 30MW pre-commercial project.
The anchors, which weigh up to 35 tonnes each with a holding power of 1,210 metric tonnes, will be used to help moor three of the floating wind turbines.
The anchors will be manufactured at Mooreast’s yard at 51 Shipyard Road, Singapore and are expected to be delivered by October.
