Deepsea Star™ selected for the GoliatVIND wind park in the Barents Sea
By Odfjell Oceanwind Apr 26, 2023
Odfjell Oceanwind’s floating wind foundation Deepsea Star™ has been selected for the GoliatVIND wind park located in the Barents Sea which is currently under planning. The project is being matured by a consortium consisting of Source Galileo and Odfjell Oceanwind and is aiming at installing three to five floating wind units, each carrying a 15MW wind turbine generator, with an earliest operational startup in 2026.

Tax incentives as a catalyst for floating offshore wind de-carbonisation projects?
By Kenneth Fossøy Mar 16, 2023
- UK and Norway have set ambitious targets for reducing emissions from their oil and gas activities
- Both nations desire to develop their respective industries into global leaders in floating wind
- Floating wind is a de-carbonisation solution that could deliver on the emission reduction targets
- Tax incentives could be an effective fiscal tool to incentivise de-carbonisation projects

Odfjell Oceanwind launches the Deepsea Star™ 15MW floating wind foundation

With advancements in technology and engineering, and not least political interest, there are now a variety of different floating wind technologies being promoted, each with its own unique design and approach to capturing wind energy. These range from simple floating platforms attached to the seabed, to innovative designs such as semi-submersible and spar-buoy concepts. However, few if any of these designs have so far been proven in full scale for large wind turbine generators. Many of them only exist as computer rendered images at an early stage of development. The designs that have come furthest have begun to involve the classification societies.
