ABS Approves Bassoe Technology’s D-Floater Floating Wind Foundation Design for World’s Largest Turbines
(HOUSTON) A new breed of floating offshore wind turbine foundations, designed to handle the largest wind turbines in the world, has received ABS approval in principle (AIP). The Bassoe D-Floater technology is capable of carrying 15-megawatt (MW) turbines in some of the harshest environmental conditions. Fifteen-megawatt turbines are the next generation of power producing systems and are as tall as the Eiffel Tower and can weigh upwards of 2,000 tons. “ABS is proud to add the Bassoe D-Floater to its list of pioneering offshore floating innovations that we have been able
