Zusammenfassung:An array of offshore floating wind turbines comprising at least two floating wind turbine assemblies 212, each assembly having an ingoing and outgoing (242, 244, Fig. 2) electrical connections with respective first 226 and second 228 electrical cables connected, the first and second cables extending from the same lateral side of the floating wind turbine, and the second cable of a first turbine connecting to the ingoing electrical connection of a second wind turbine. The first and second cables may be connected via a junction box to remove a turbine from the array for maintenance. The second cable may be positioned on the seabed in a U-shape or a V-shape. The first and second cable may have a circumferential offset between them of less than 90°, or less than offset between them of less than 90°, or less than 45°, and the cables may be adjacent. The cables may be supported by a single bending stiffener.
