ABS, Akselos floating wind MoU focused on engineering and certification

ABS and Akselos have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that they say aims to advance engineering and certification processes for floating offshore wind projects.

The partners will collaborate on solutions aimed at optimizing design, reducing costs and improving efficiency for the floating wind sector globally.

The collaboration intends to utilize ABS's expertise in offshore certification and classification and Akselos' simulation technology for structural risk mitigation and optimization.

They aim to support the US Department of Energy's Floating Offshore Wind Energy Shot initiative, which targets a 70% reduction in costs to achieve $45 per MWh by 2035.
