Since 2022, MARIN has been working on the development of a generic open-source semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) floater. This floater is intended for co-operative research together with the industry into the design challenges and methodologies for industrial scale FOWT platforms. During a webinar on Novermber 11 we shared the results up to now and made all data publicly available. This includes a 3D CAD model of the floater design, multiple reports on the design methodology and numerical simulations, all basin data and a video recording of the webinar.

Executive Summary Report below, describing at high-level what has been done in the different research projects.
We are open for collaborative research, in the form of Joint Industry projects, subsidized projects with industry or direct contract research. We will also continue performing MARIN funded research using this floater. If you have an idea, suggestion or would like to collaborate, please contact us!
