Morek Engineering said last year that this would be a first-in-class low-carbon vessel designed specifically to meet the complex installation requirements of floating offshore wind moorings and foundations.

The Future Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) Installation Vessel (FFIV) design incorporates low-carbon fuels, a hydrodynamically optimised hull and expanded mooring capacity. The consortium partners say these translate into significant time and cost savings compared to current vessels in operation.
