On 24 April 2013, as part of the Future Technologies Conference “Wind & Maritim 2013”, the Offshore Infocenter Rostock (OIR) was officially inaugurated.
GICON is supporting the exhibition with the permanent loan of a model of the GICON Floating Offshore Foundation (GICON – SOF) for offshore wind turbines, currently in development by GICON and which represents a cost-effective and maintenance-friendly foundation solution for water depths of 18 m to 700 m.
The Offshore Infocenter Rostock (OIR) is part of the shipbuilding and maritime museum, which is located on the historic ship moored in Rostock Schmarl. Through various exhibits, multimedia presentations, audio-visual demonstrations and models of offshore installations, the exhibition explains the technology of the future for wind power generation on the high seas. In addition, visitors have the opportunity to learn about careers in the offshore wind energy sector. In these appealing ways, the exhibition brings the exciting developments and challenges of this technology closer to the visitors.
