This self-propelled heavy transport/offshore installation vessel, with DP2 capability, is able to transport and install multiple fully assembled 5MW class wind turbine generators, whilst remaining floating.
For detailed information on the quick method of connecting turbines to the foundation, see directly below.

The quick connect is a new novel method of connecting turbines to foundations. It was developed to work with the Turbine Installation Vessel but the technology could also be applied to current installation procedures.
It has the following key advantages over the commonly used bolted flange method:
1. Physical alignment and guide in
2. Impact energy absorption for soft touch down
3. Radial wedges replace the bolted flange offering quick securing and improved ongoing maintenance.
