JOURE, the Netherlands – FibreMax has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Houston-based Entrion Wind for deeper water wind energy developments.

They aim to combine FibreMax's fiber tendon technology with Entrion Wind's FRP (Fully Restrained Platform) wind foundation monopile design for operation in water depths of up to 100 m. FRP is said to accommodate mooring solutions based on chain, spiral strand wire, and high strength fiber tendons.

Under the MoU, the two companies will jointly work on qualifying FibreMax’s fiber tendons for the FRP design along with site-specific proposals for various FRP mooring configurations.

If this leads to commercialization of the technology, FibreMax would establish further fabrication facilities to meet local content requirements.
