A method of moving a floating wind turbine 2 having a buoyant support structure 6 offshore by floating the wind turbine in the water and supporting it with a multi-hulled vessel 12 during transport. The vessel preferably provides lateral support to the wind turbine, which may be carried in an upright or inclined position. The wind turbine may be supported between two hulls of the vessel, which may be a catamaran, preferably via a support arrangement (22, fig. 2), e.g. a cylindrical holding member which in use encircles a portion of the wind turbine. Moreover, the vessel may be towed by a tugboat 14, and optionally tied to a second, trailing boat 18 for enhanced stability. An apparatus 1 for applying the aforementioned method is also claimed. |
