Wind Industry Profile of
Floating Wind Energy: Naval Energies and Hitachi Zosen Corporation Announce Cooperation
Takashi Fujita, General Manager of the Wind Power Business Unit at Hitachi Zosen Corporation said: “Among all floaters developed in the world, we consider that Naval Energies’ semi-submersible floater, which has many advantages, is one of the best on the market. We appreciate that Naval Energies is participating with us in this feasibility study and we hope that Naval Energies and Hitachi Zosen will contribute to the development of an industrial floating wind energy industry in Japan.”
Laurent Schneider-Maunoury, President of Naval Energies said: “We are very proud to have been selected by Hitachi Zosen for this study and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the objective of becoming an industrial partner for the design and manufacture of floaters."
The environmental conditions in Japan are favourable for the installation of floating wind technology as the seabed falls steeply off the coast.
