DNV has completed a Concept Verification and Technical & Commercial Assessment of GustoMSC’s Tri-Floater, a floating offshore wind turbine foundation. The Tri-Floater wind turbine foundation is a modular solution designed for the +15MW range wind turbines.

DNV’s Concept Verification confirms the technical feasibility and compliance with the relevant design standards. The GustoMSC Tri-Floater is a triangular semi-submersible with an offshore wind turbine column at the centre of one of its sides. The semi-sub structure is modular and can be tailored to fit different wind turbines.

The successfully completed Technical and Commercial Assessment is an overall review of the concept from a ‘bankability’ perspective, taking into account evaluation of the concept with regards to fabrication, transport, installation and operation phases.


Barend Jenje, Commercial Director Floating Wind, GustoMSC, states: “Having successfully completed DNV’s reviews brings us closer to exploit the potential of floating offshore wind and its key contribution to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Thanks to our extensive experience in offshore projects, our involvement in the upcoming floating projects and the combined expertise in NOV, GustoMSC is particularly well- positioned to contribute to the successful development of this new technology.”
