Japanese companies Toda Corp and Yoshida Co have built a semi-submersible vessel designed for the installation of floating offshore wind turbines.
The Float Raiser barge has roll on/roll off capabilities allowing loading and unloading of turbines, caissons and foundations up to a total weight of 5000 tonnes.
Float Raiser is 110 metres in length, 43 metres wide and has a deck area of about 3890 square metres.
Japan’s Ministry of the Environment supported the development of the vessel.
