Honeymooring® by Semar
Semar’s patented Honeymooring® system is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly mooring solution for floating wind farms.
Honeymooring® enables shared anchor for any site, while eliminating fatigue, retensioning and erosion issues. Welcome to a cost-effective, sustainable and robust mooring system.
Submerged Buoy System
The submerged buoys serve dual functions: they reduce loads and provide anchor connections. Each buoy is connected to a dedicated anchor, with up to three floaters linked to each buoy.
Honeymooring®: A Step Forward in Offshore Innovation
Through long-term investment and close collaborations, Semar has successfully addressed key challenges and refined the Honeymooring technology. The next milestone is the launch of a full-scale pilot and the pursuit of formal certification.
Honeymooring® Pilot project
The Honeymooring® Pilot project will demonstrate important innovations, including our patent pending installation method. After a testing period, a floating wind turbine can be connected to the mooring system, as shown in the video below. Note that the 400ton net buoyancy buoys are hidden, as they are not yet ready for public reveal.
Value Propositions and Arguments
Reduces both CAPEX and OPEX compared to semi-taut:
Fewer anchors, less chains, and reduced bollard pull requirements — simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Scales favorably:
No components near capacity limits, with multiple suppliers ensuring flexibility and reliability.
Reduced Dynamic Loads
The buoy acts as a load-reduction device, enabling smaller components and minimizing fatigue.
Handles line failure without loss of cable:
Double tethers and ropes can be added with minimal cost or complexity — no extra anchors needed.
