First Subsea Ltd was selected by with Spanish developer and construction company Cobra Group to provide platform mooring connectors (PMCs) to the 50 MW Kincardine floating offshore wind farm in Aberdeen Bay.

The PMCs will be used to connect the semi-submersible platform to mooring lines at a water depth of 45m-143m. The connector will allow the mooring lines to be pre-laid on the seabed, prior to the arrival of the wind turbine structure.

Once the structure is in place, the end of the mooring line will be collected from the seabed anchor and connected into the PMC located on the platform’s hull. The connector will then automatically engage and provide a mooring system.
