Main benefits Main benefits Main benefits • FOWTs can be located in deeper waters where wind energy can be greater and for countries that have limited shallow water areas for developing offshore wind farms. OPEX reduction Having the tower on one column makes offshore maintenance easier by providing direct boat access to the tower. Production increase Yes due to higher wind energies and potentially greater spacing. CAPEX reduction A simple, scaleable, cost effective design. Having the tower on one column minimises crane capacity/ cost for quayside assembly. HSE & Risk Direct boat access to the tower is a safer concept for offshore maintenance personnel. Design from O&G is proven/low risk system.
