Floating offshore wind in deep waters is a massive renewable energy resource ready to be tapped into toachieve carbon reduction targets. Prohibitive costs and advanced infrastructure requirement have limitedgrowth of this sector even in developed countries. In developing countries the resource has remained entirelyunexploited. Project MARLIN aims to test feasibility of a new cost-effective universal concept of modularconstruction of floating platforms for offshore wind. Using the concept of compact easily transportablemodules as building blocks, the MARLIN team will design, construct and test models and prototypes ofstructures that will be capable of supporting wind turbines in all weathers in most of the coastal regions of theworld. The modular floating platform technology will be developed for commercial exploitation and will formthe basis of a new UK-based business. Beyond contributing to carbon targets the outcomes of the project couldhave transformative economic effects on coastal communities across the world.

深水中漂浮的海上风电是一种巨大的可再生能源，可用于实现碳减排目标。即使在发达国家，高昂的成本和先进的基础设施要求也限制了该行业的增长。在发展中国家，该资源仍未完全得到开发。 MARLIN 项目旨在测试海上风电浮动平台模块化建造的新的、具有成本效益的通用概念的可行性。 MARLIN 团队将采用紧凑、易于运输的模块概念作为构建块，设计、建造和测试模型和结构原型，这些模型和原型将能够在世界大多数沿海地区的所有天气条件下支撑风力涡轮机。模块化浮动平台技术将用于商业开发，并将构成英国新业务的基础。除了为碳目标做出贡献之外，该项目的成果还可能对世界各地的沿海社区产生变革性的经济影响。
