Engineering
There are several different types of structure and mooring system for the foundation structure of floating offshore wind power generation, and the most suitable one will differ depending on the power generation project envisaged.
We will contribute to the verification of the feasibility of the project by considering the optimisation of production design and manufacturing according to the type of floating structure chosen by the customer.
We will also help to improve the feasibility of the project by considering shipping and transport.

Manufacturing
The welding and canning technologies developed in the shipbuilding industry can be applied to the manufacture of the foundation structures of floating offshore wind power generation.
In addition, the manufacturing of cylindrical structures, which are not often used in the shipbuilding industry, will be strengthened through collaboration with Sumitomo Heavy Industries Process Equipment Co., Ltd.
Furthermore, the entire Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group will work together to establish a high-speed mass production system, combining the Toyota Production System and large-scale coating facilities.

Utilisation of large dock
The Yokosuka Shipyard is strategically located in Tokyo Bay, boasting one of the largest docks in eastern Japan.
The dock spans 560 metres in length and 80 metres in width, equipped with two Goliath cranes, enabling the shipyard to undertake the production of large-scale foundation structures.
The completed foundation structures are shipped out by being floated out and launched from the dock, or by being lifted out by a floating crane barge.
