Ocean Breeze offers the lowest cost deeper water floating foundation for offshore wind 

Based on their long history of tension leg buoys, recent further work carried out by  Ocean Resource on its Ocean Breeze floating offshore wind foundation has concluded that the design offers the lowest cost for a floating WTG foundation.  

Other designs that have been demonstrated use far more steel / concrete and the installation process requires more expensive vessels.  Ocean Resource has optimised the design and installation process to make this as low cost as possible.
