KOMERI has secured Approval in Principle (AIP) from Korean Register for a 25MW-class floating offshore wind substructure. This certification validates the design and technical feasibility of the floating foundation, supporting Korea's floating offshore wind development pipeline.
The AIP certification represents a significant milestone in the development of floating offshore wind technology in Korea. By obtaining approval from Korean Register, KOMERI has demonstrated that the design of the 25MW-class floating substructure meets international standards and technical requirements for safety and performance.
This achievement is expected to accelerate the commercialization of floating offshore wind projects in Korean waters. The certification provides confidence to project developers and investors that the technology is viable and ready for further development toward full deployment in deep-water offshore environments.
The development of floating offshore wind technology is crucial for Korea's renewable energy goals, as it enables wind farm installations in deeper waters where fixed-bottom structures are not feasible. KOMERI's progress in this area contributes to establishing Korea as a competitive player in the global floating offshore wind market.
