Seawind Ocean Technology, a leading turnkey supplier of floating and bottom fixed offshore wind assets, announces an engagement agreement with GICON®, an internationally active engineering service provider for fixed and floating offshore wind farms.
October 24th, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Seawind Ocean Technology is addressing the major offshore wind energy challenges whilst concurrently maximizing the economic benefits for commercial projects. With Seawind’s disruptive and proven turbine technology, in combination with the innovative floating or bottom fixed solutions, Seawind offers a huge competitive advantage both in CAPEX & OPEX bringing down the levelized cost of electricity. Seawind is dedicated to decarbonization by redefining the global offshore wind industry and by generating clean, affordable, and reliable energy for all seas and oceans, including cyclonic areas. The focus of the engagement agreement will be on re-designing Seawind’s ‘Float-to-Fixed’ base structure concept, which was developed by Seawind in 2015.
Within the framework of this agreement, GICON® will assist the technical team of Seawind to readjust the ‘Float-to-Fixed’ concept on certain aspects of concept design. Through this engagement agreement, GICON® will support Seawind’s ambition to redefining the offshore bottom -fixed segment of the wind industry.
