Swivels for Marine Renewables

Mooring systems used in marine renewables and offshore wind applications benefit from the integration of a Focal mooring swivel. Focal swivels enable the continuous transfer of power, signals and media from the rotating side of the device (power generating device heading) to the geostationary side of the system (export cable on seabed) to allow un-restricted rotation.
