At the booth of the Fukushima offshore wind consortium, a large display showed movies of the offshore floating wind farm and the construction record of the first phase of the demonstration project. In addition, the booth displayed panels to show Fukushima Shimpuu with 7MW wind turbine, which was constructed in the second phase. With them, people could feel how big the world’s largest offshore floating wind turbine is. At this exhibition, a real riser cable, intermediate buoys and mooring chains were displayed. Visitors could look into the section of the riser cable, touch the intermediate buoy and see how heavy the mooring chain was. Those real models could attract people’s attention so much.

On the first day of the exhibition,Mr. Uchibori, the Governor of Fukushima, Mr. Svane, the Danish Ambassador to Japan, and Mr. Nagao, a Fukushima prefectural assembly member, visited the booth. Governor Uchibori said, “it is a great pleasure for Fukushima that Fukushima Shimpu was established in the planned sea area and intermediate buoys developed by a local company was used”.
