W3G Marine Ltd has developed a patented means for the installation of fully assembled and commissioned offshore wind turbines in one lift onto pre-installed foundations from a floating vessel.
The OWTIS™ concept was born out of the realisation that the efficiency of offshore wind turbine installation can be greatly improved.
