In a recent LinkedIn post, BOURBON reported that it has completed the tow of the Eolmed project float from the Port of Port-La Nouvelle as part of the offshore wind pilot project. The scope covered port preparations, the laying of mooring lines, and the final positioning and mooring of the unit at the offshore site. The operation followed more than three years of engineering, planning, and coordination.
According to BOURBON, the campaign required extensive marine resources and the participation of more than fifteen major subcontractors. Around 80 people, including subcontractor personnel, were mobilised on site to execute the work.
The company added that the next milestones for the Eolmed project are the installation of the remaining two floats and the laying of power cables needed for electrical connection. Completion of this latest tow marks an important step towards commissioning of the pilot.
