The world's largest single-capacity floating wind power platform set sail on August 11 from Guangzhou to an offshore wind farm in Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province. It will arrive at the Mingyang Qingzhou Sihai Offshore Wind Farm on August 14 after a 72-hour voyage of 191 nautical miles.

This monolithic platform, developed by the Mingyang Smart Energy Group, is projected to generate about 54 gigawatt hours of electricity annually. It is designed for a wide range of waters over 35 meters deep and can serve for about 25 years under severe conditions, such as typhoons and high waves.
