BOA, a leading Norwegian maritime company specialising in offshore, subsea, and heavy-lift solutions, has successfully launched three floating steel platforms for the EOLMED Offshore Wind Project, a pioneering floating wind farm located in the Mediterranean Sea, France.
The scope of work included full engineering support, project management and all marine operations delivering the floating structures to its designated quay. The operations were carried out using the semi-submersible barge BOABARGE 35 and the ASD tug BOA Brage with the support of local tugs following a load-out operation managed by Sarens.
Utilising the strength, high capacities and advanced submerging capabilities of the BOABARGE 35 and BOA Brage, ensured safe and controlled load-out, transport and float-off operations.
This milestone highlights BOA’s expertise and strong track record in delivering advanced solution in offshore operations and our continued commitment to advancing floating wind technology through innovative engineering and precise project execution.
The EOLMED Floating Offshore Wind Farm, located off the coast of Gruissan, France, consists of three 10 MW wind turbines mounted on floating steel platforms more than 18 km offshore. The project is led by Qair and includes partners Total Energies, BW Ideol with its Damping Pool® concrete floater, and wind turbine manufacturer MHI Vestas. EOLMED marks a major milestone in France’s renewable energy ambitions, advancing floating offshore wind technology in the Mediterranean.
It has been a privilege to contribute to this pioneering offshore wind project, and we are grateful for the trust placed in BOA. We remain committed to supporting the global energy transition and to delivering reliable, safe, and high-performance marine solutions in collaboration with industry leaders.
