Floating wind technology pioneer Seawind has tied-up with Portuguese R&D consultancy Blue Ocean Sustainable Solutions (BlueOasis) to prepare for the Dutch-headquartered start-up’s planned push into the deepwater Iberian offshore play now emerging in Europe.

The cooperation brings in BlueOasis to oversee project engineering and the permit-technical office for Seawind’s upcoming projects in the region based on its innovative two-bladed floating wind design.
