The Japanese offshore engineering and consulting company, Japan Blue Energy (JB Energy), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FibreMax to strengthen collaboration on synthetic mooring line solutions for JB Energy’s Raijin Float offshore wind design.
The Raijin Float is a semi-submersible floating platform for offshore wind turbines, manufactured using precast and prestressed concrete. Its modular system ensures global scalability by enabling efficient and repeatable manufacturing as well as streamlined deployment, according to JB Energy.
FibreMax’s near-fully automated production method allows for scalable manufacturing at or near the installation of ports worldwide. This approach is said to reduce risk, boost efficiency, and foster local supply chain development, while also complementing Raijin Float’s scalable and modular concept.
