Glosten Wins Floating Offshore Wind Readiness Prize with Platform

Seattle-based architecture firm Glosten’s PelaStar tension-leg platform has netted the U.S. Department of Energy’s Floating Offshore Wind Readiness (FLOWIN) Prize, the naval architecture and marine engineering consulting firm said March 29. Glosten is among nine Phase One winners in the contest by the Energy Department’s Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), which advances the development of floating offshore wind energy tech. The contest is in three phases. In the first phase, competitors needed to show that their ideas could work for U.S. sites and “could be scaled in a cost-effective way to help address U.S. supply chain constraints,” according to the…
