We Will:

• Save Time by Pre‐laying the Mooring System (Foundations)

• Save money by providing and utilising Anchor Handling Vessels AHV’s instead of expensive Construction Vessels 

• Improve Safety by reducing risk and reducing exposure time 

• Provide a long term rental solution  No Capex Requirements

What We Can OfferDesign, Installation and Maintenance of a Mooring System for Floating Wind Turbines

Page 3: Pre Systems Floating Wind Turbines - First Marine …€Laid Mooring Systems for Floating Wind Turbines We Will: • Save Time by Pre‐laying the Mooring System (Foundations) •

• A Pre‐laid Mooring System is simply one that has been installed, load tested & buoyed‐off prior to Turbine arrival 

• Pre‐lay Moorings can be installed in water depths of up to 500m+

Introduction to Pre‐LayWhat is a Pre‐laid Mooring System?

Page 4: Pre Systems Floating Wind Turbines - First Marine …€Laid Mooring Systems for Floating Wind Turbines We Will: • Save Time by Pre‐laying the Mooring System (Foundations) •

• Designed using standard components

• Installation is completed outside of the critical path 

• Lower Installation costs by using AHV’s

• Short weather window requirements during pre‐lay operations
