Background
As part of the OPIN project, WEAMEC will organise a second edition of the masterclass on Mooring and Installation on 30th June & 1st July 2021.
This training will provide developers, operators and technology providers with a background knowledge in mooring systems for offshore renewable floating farms (wind, wave, tidal).
The masterclass content will support the attendees to choose and design adapted mooring systems from a techno-economic standpoint, but also control the installation requirements and maintenance of these systems.
This event will be held online (Zoom) and in English.
The training will be held during two half-days, on the mornings of 30th June & 1st July 2021.
