1FMS patented hull system, including protective outermost layer of fibre glass.
2Node ballast system.
3On-board crane handles hoisting and lowering of outdoor equipment.
4Patented tension mooring system Seaflex (no anchor chains).
5Centralized swivel system enabling the entire platform to automatically align with the wind while moored.
6Electric feeder cable and hook-ups, including substation, are located above water and included within the swivel wheel arrangement.
7Brand name horizontal wind power turbines installed on each node.
8Docking and service facilities located at rear of platform, including heliport designated area.

10Azipod propulsion units for transport as well as positioning purposes.
11Gravity anchor system - concrete and/or granite.
12Several “smaller” vertical wind towers can be combined with conventional towers on the platform without interfering and thus also contribute by sharing in the cost of the platform while increasing energy production with better overall economy as a result.
