Mooreast has secured an order to supply its proprietary anchors for the 30 MW EolMed floating offshore wind farm located in the Mediterranean Sea approximately 18 km off the coast of Gruissan in the Aude region of France. 

The company partnered with Bourbon Offshore to supply its MA5S mooring drag anchors, Bourbon Offshore will provide transport and installation services for the floating project.

The facility is being developed by Qair, a European independent energy company, with TotalEnergies and floating technology supplier BW Ideol. It consists of 3 V164-10.0 MW wind turbines mounted on BW Ideol’s Damping pool floating foundations and installed 15 km off Gruissan, in water depths of around 60 m.

The pilot floating wind farm was planned to be commissioned in mid 2024. The final commissioning is now scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, with the installation of the floaters at the project site set to begin in June of that same year.
