1、 The industry has drafted this guidance to present the state of play of floating wind, including the main differences and similarities between floating platforms. This intends to be a discussion-starter for stakeholders, including ports, developers, and technology providers. The document summarises

It is stabilised by keeping the centre

This is the structure with the largest draught, between 70-90m once installed, minimising the motions and stabilising the structure. However, this can translate into more complex logistics in the assembly,
