Danish maritime contractor Maersk Supply Service (MSS) has landed the deal for installation of the innovative mooring technology for the RWE-backed Saitec DemoSath wind pilot off Spain, in the frame to be the country’s first grid-connected floating array.
MSS will be responsible for hook-up of a so-called single-point mooring – a system adapted from floating oil production and storage vessels that allows a unit to ‘weathervane’ with the wind – to a 2MW model of Saitec’s Sath design, set to be anchored off Bilbo in the second quarter.
