The San Franciso-based company says its floating foundation enables the installation of fully assembled wind turbines from ports, regardless of height restrictions, and that its technology is also suitable for ports with shallow waters with its low transit draught.

The Aikido platform facilitates transporting a fully assembled unit horizontally either on a barge or using tugboats and then, once at its designated offshore location, upending the floater using water ballast. The platform is then locked out by inserting a pin into each of the frames that form the platform.
