SINTEF OCEAN AS (SO)

SINTEF is one of Europe’s largest independent research organizations, with multidisciplinary expertise within technology, natural sciences and social sciences. SINTEF Ocean conducts research and innovation related to ocean space. Transport, food and energy production represent the backbone of ocean-based industries, and are also core areas for SINTEF Ocean. In addition, we focus on environmental technology, with one of the world’s leading professional environments in marine environmental technology. In TAILWIND, SINTEF is coordinating WP2 (Mooring line technology), where we will contribute to characterizing the mechanical properties of the fibre ropes, assess the environmental impact of different mooring line technologies through laboratory experiments and field trials, investigate the recyclability of the fibre ropes, and optimize mooring system layouts considering not only the cost, but also the environmental impact. In addition, SINTEF is contributing to WP1.
