(Reuters) – Italy’s Prysmian and Britain’s TechnipFMC signed an agreement to strengthen the development of floating offshore wind facilities, the companies said on Monday.
The aim of the tie-up is to pioneer a subsea water column solution “from seabed to ocean surface”, combining TechnipFMS’s design and integration capacities with Prysmian’s submarine power cable systems, the groups said in a joint statement.
“The collaboration strengthens both companies’ position in this emerging market by providing an integrated solution that accelerates time to first power and reduces cost,” TechnipFMC’s Chair and CEO Doug Pferdehirt said in the statement, which did not provide financial details of the deal.
