Mooreast Holdings has won a contract to supply its proprietary anchors for Eolmed, a pre-commercial floating offshore wind farm in Southern France.

Meanwhile Bourbon Offshore will provide transport and installation services to the 30MW pre-commercial project, which is the biggest of the first three floating wind energy projects to be developed in France. 

The offshore wind farm is a project developed by Qair, a European independent energy company, with TotalEnergies and floating technology supplier BW Ideol. 

The anchors weigh up to 35 tonnes each with a holding power of 1,210 metric tonnes and will be used to help moor three of the floating wind turbines

The anchors will be manufactured at Mooreast’s yard at 51 Shipyard Road, Singapore and are expected to be delivered by October.


“The project win in France underscores the growing confidence that international players in the floating renewable industry have in us. The European floating wind energy sector is known for its rigorous standards and we are proud that Mooreast is able to achieve market acceptance in this region.

“Already, we are in active discussions with several project developers looking to tap into our expertise and capacity for subsea foundation production. As more floating wind farms gain traction, Mooreast can add value through its specialist solutions and products. 

“We are establishing a manufacturing facility in Aberdeen, Scotland, in addition to our regional marketing office in the Netherlands. We remain focused on offering differentiated value even as we seek to capture more opportunities in the near future in this exciting sector,” Mr Sim Koon Lam, founder, Executive Director, CEO and Deputy Chairman of Mooreast, said.
