NOV : Model tests confirm GustoMSC Tri-Floater performance in harsh environment

Besides representing actual site conditions in the basin, a large set of more fundamental tests were performed, investigating various hydrodynamic properties of the floater in greater detail. The numerical models of the Tri-Floater have been calibrated based on these results, further improving the quality of numerical simulations performed by GustoMSC.

With the model test campaign completed and numerical models validated, the Tri-Floater design has reached Technology Readiness Level 4: "technology validated in lab". Achieving this milestone strengthens the position of the Tri-Floater as contender for commercial tenders in the floating wind space in 2022 and beyond.
