Turbine components for the SeaAngel should begin arriving in mid-May witherection planned for completion the following month.

The 7MW turbine flies 81.6-metre-long Eurus blades,which turn a drive-train based around hydraulic “digital displacementtransmission” technology and a brushless synchronous generator.
