Triton Anchor Secures Patents for Offshore Anchor and Subsea Deployment Tool
Triton Anchor has recently announced that it has successfully secured two patents in the United States for its innovative offshore anchor and subsea deployment tool. Additionally, the company has received a notice of allowance for the anchor patent in Japan, further solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
These newly patented technologies represent a significant advancement in enabling low-cost, low-impact deployment of floating wind, solar, and wave platforms. Triton Anchor’s cutting-edge solutions aim to revolutionize the renewable energy sector by offering a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to offshore anchoring.
One of the key benefits of Triton Anchor’s technology is its ability to reduce capital and installation costs, while also utilizing smaller vessels for deployment. This not only streamlines the installation process but also minimizes environmental impact and supports local job creation through near-site manufacturing.
Unlike traditional anchors that rely on heavy infrastructure and can cause significant seabed impact, the Triton Anchor and Triton Anchor Deployment system utilize clusters of commercial off-the-shelf helical anchors combined with a template and skirt. This innovative approach is a game-changer for floating renewables, offering a fully reusable and modular design optimized for fast, low-impact installation and removal.
Commenting on the patent awards, Triton Anchor CEO Nick Ritchie expressed his excitement about the long-term value of their anchoring approach. He stated, “These patent awards confirm that our innovative anchoring approach is unique and has long term value to multiple floating industries. Our technology removes key barriers to scaling floating renewables by simplifying project planning, reducing installation costs, and enabling profitable deployment from shallow to ultra-deep waters across many emerging markets.”
Looking ahead, Triton Anchor is actively exploring strategic investment opportunities to accelerate global commercial deployment of its groundbreaking technologies. With further patent filings in progress, the company is poised to become the anchor of choice for floating offshore wind and other renewable energy markets worldwide.
Overall, Triton Anchor’s recent patent successes underscore its commitment to driving innovation in the renewable energy sector and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
