Global Maritime announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Entrion Wind.
The agreement establishes a strategic partnership focused on advancing Entrion Wind’s Fully Restrained Platform (FRP) monopile foundation technology through a planned demonstration project in U.K. waters.
Under the MoU, Global Maritime will provide transportation and installation (T&I) engineering services throughout the lifecycle of Entrion Wind’s planned U.K. demonstration project, from feasibility studies and front-end engineering design through execution, operations, and eventual decommissioning. The partnership also covers development of a generic T&I framework for the FRP technology and engineering support for future U.K. offshore wind projects.
Jonny Logan, CEO of Global Maritime, said: “We are pleased to partner with Entrion Wind on this innovative foundation concept. By combining Entrion Wind’s technology with our track record in offshore transportation and installation, we can unlock new opportunities for efficient, scalable offshore wind deployment in the U.K.”
“This agreement marks an important step toward delivering our first demonstration project in the U.K. and showcasing FRP technology as a scalable, cost-efficient foundation solution. Global Maritime brings decades of offshore engineering expertise and a strong presence in the U.K. supply chain. Their involvement will be instrumental as we move closer to our first deployment in the U.K. market,” said Eivind Johnsen, president of Entrion Wind.
The partnership aligns with Entrion Wind’s strategic focus on the U.K. market, where the company is commissioning TGS 4C to provide a U.K.-specific report on offshore wind potential and preparing a labor and economic impact study on how the FRP technology can benefit local industries and employment.
The FRP monopile is designed to accelerate offshore wind deployment by extending the use of monopile foundations into water depths of up to 100 meters. By combining the simplicity and favorable economics of the traditional monopile with new engineering refinements, FRP offers a scalable, cost-efficient solution for deeper-water projects that have historically relied on more complex foundation types.
