Triton Anchor, a company specializing in subsea innovation, has declared it has secured two patents in the United States for its exclusive offshore anchor and subsea deployment tool, with a notice of allowance for the anchor patent also attained in Japan.
These newly patented technologies signify a substantial progression in facilitating cost-effective, minimal-impact deployment of floating wind, solar, and wave platforms. They decrease capital and installation expenses, utilize smaller vessels, lessen environmental effects, and bolster local employment through nearby manufacturing.
In contrast to traditional anchors that depend on heavy infrastructure and inflict considerable seabed disruption, the Triton Anchor and Triton Anchor Deployment system represents an industry-first for floating renewables, employing clusters of commercially available helical anchors paired with a template and skirt. Its fully reusable, modular design is tailored for rapid, low-impact installation and removal, which offers considerable cost reductions and environmental advantages to end users.
“These patent recognitions validate that our pioneering anchoring methodology is distinctive and possesses long-term significance for various floating sectors. Our technology eliminates major hurdles to expanding floating renewables by streamlining project planning, cutting installation costs, and allowing profitable deployments from shallow to ultra-deep waters in numerous emerging markets,” stated Nick Ritchie, CEO of Triton Anchor. “With additional patent applications underway, we are assured that this solidifies our role as the preferred anchor for floating offshore wind and other floating renewable energy sectors worldwide.”
The firm is presently investigating strategic investment opportunities to expedite global commercial deployment. By 2040, the floating renewable energy sector (encompassing floating wind, floating solar, and ocean energies) is anticipated to require nearly 40,000 anchors globally, representing a total addressable market for Triton Anchor of £7.2 billion ($8.9 billion) in revenue.
