TfI Marine

TfI has developed Sea springs that reduce mooring loads by upwards of 70%, this, in turn, delivers significant cost reductions in the mooring system. Reductions in capex by ~ 50% and Opex by ~20% The target markets are Aquaculture, Floating wind and OIl and Gas These reductions are key for floating wind platforms. With ~60% of the offshore wind resource in depths & 50m, beyond the reach of the fixed bottom, they will become a key enabler to this emerging sector, the floating offshore wind industry.
