How do engineers select the most suitable mooring system for a floating offshore structure? The answer is not always straightforward. Our latest research explores different mooring approaches for floating wind applications, comparing steel wire, polyester and hybrid configurations under a range of operating conditions.
The work was carried out with the support of Dimitris Manolas, Wind Renewables S.A., and Professor Emeritus Dr.-Ing. Spyros A. Mavrakos of the Laboratory for Floating Structures and Mooring Systems, Division of Marine Structures, School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, National Technical University of Athens.
On Friday, 23 October, our CTO, Maurizio Meleddu and Dimitris Manolas, partner at Wind Renewables S.A will present the findings at FER Forum 2026.
