Beaconing for Spanish marine energy platform

摘要

Spanish manufacturer of AtoN, Almarin, has supplied the maritime beaconing for Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BIMEP) in Bizkaia, Spain. Almarin supplied seven G3000TL buoys with 11m3 hull volume, sufficient capacity to handle the sturdy moorings in 90m depth. Equipped with self contained beacons, radar reflectors and AIS systems (providing real time data for ships equipped with ECDIS), these buoys ensure that the perimeter of the BIMEP area is well marked. BIMEP is an initiative of the Basque Energy Entity (EVE) to promote the development of offshore alternative energies. The BIMEP platform provides facilities for testing and validation of offshore energy generators.
