WindFloat F, a pontoon-based design suitable for flat panel construction.
The patented WindFloat F is a low-draft pontoon-based design that leverages the 4th generation WindFloat® heritage – and introduces a geometry that allows access to established flat panel construction methods commonly used in shipbuilding and O&G (Oil & Gas).
The design is simple, symmetrical, and structurally efficient, enabling the standardization of components. The flat panel architecture is compatible with existing automated flat-panel fabrication lines in key markets, a critical benefit for the delivery of projects in today's constrained supply chain landscape

WindFloat F
With the WindFloat F, our engineering teams have realized a structurally efficient architecture with high levels of built-in flexibility for resolving fatigue-related challenges common in the industry. The low-draft design makes it possible to integrate turbines across a range of shallow water ports, maximizing project flexibility.
The philosophy of WindFloat F centers on modular construction to streamline delivery. The modular "block" subcomponents can be manufactured on automated serial lines in indoor facilities, ensuring maximum throughput and high-quality standards.
Featuring a pontoon-based buoyancy system, the WindFloat F minimizes draft and reduces footprint, allowing turbine integration in shallow ports with water depths above 8 meters. As with the WindFloat T, the WindFloat F incorporates the Hull Trim System for improved Annual Energy Production (AEP), reduced wind turbine loads, and higher operational efficiency.
