The ongoing global environmental crisis is thrusting both the research & development (R&D) and the industry to put an increasing committed effort into the implementation of the energetical transition, with the aim to cut the fossil-fuel related emissions of carbon dioxide within due time, hence avoiding the so-called “tipping points” to be reached. Floating offshore wind (FOW), among the sources of renewable energy, is the one whose development is proceeding with the highest rapidity. FOW, indeed, is characterized by an enormous potential (in terms of capacity factor and accessibility for new markets) which is in fact still far from being fully exploited - especially in the Mediterranean Sea, where not a single FOW turbine has been deployed and added to the grid yet.
