UK-based Offshore Solutions Group (OSG) has signed a two-year Exclusivity Agreement with Crown Estate Scotland for areas in the Moray Firth to develop its FLOW-Park.
The Moray FLOW-Park aims to provide temporary safe anchorage (wet storage) for floating offshore wind foundations, optimising risk management and logistics during assembly, wind turbine integration, and deployment, said OSG.
The Moray FLOW-Park builds on a three-year survey of the UK coastline and a detailed assessment of over 200 potential locations.
“Our agreement with Crown Estate Scotland allows us to conduct some initial surveys of our proposed sites, and engage further with local stakeholders and communities around our plans. The Moray FLOW Park is set to truly leverage and enhance Scotland’s existing port infrastructure to deliver its floating offshore wind ambitions,” said Shane Woodroffe , OSG Chief Commercial Officer.
