ABS, FibreMax to explore floating offshore wind mooring technologies

ABS and FibreMax have signed an agreement to collaborate on stiffness-driven mooring tendons for the offshore wind market.

The collaboration, which is principally focused on floating offshore wind assets, will see ABS provide qualification of FibreMax’s fiber and small rope testing. 

ABS says that it will evaluate test methods for accuracy in predicting the parameters needed to perform representative analysis, focusing on stiffness. 

FibreMax says it will provide expertise on stiffness, based on its patented Parallel Wound Technology.
