Abstract: A multi-functional clamp (7) for the installation of a wind turbine on an offshore substructure by means of a crane vessel equipped with a lifting crane, the multi-functional clamp (7) having: • - a main body (27) configured to selectively clamp and unclamp the lower part of the tower of a wind turbine and is shaped so as to couple with the crane vessel so as to define a given position for the tower with respect to the crane vessel; and • - a plurality of hooking members (31) extending from the main body (27) and configured to secure and release the free ends of a rigging assembly of the lifting crane to the main body so as to lift the multi-functional clamp (7) by means of the lifting crane.

Abstract: A stability frame (5) for the installation of a wind turbine (2) on an offshore substructure, wherein the wind turbine (2) comprises a tower (8) configured to be anchored to a rigging assembly (6) below the barycenter of the wind turbine (2), has a main body (23) configured to be mounted about the upper part of the tower (8); and a plurality of guides (25), which extend outwardly from the main body (23) and are configured for constraining parts of the rigging assembly (6) so as to laterally support the wind turbine (2) by means of the rigging assembly (6).

Abstract: A multi-functional clamp (7) for the installation of a wind turbine on an offshore substructure by means of a crane vessel equipped with a lifting crane, the multi-functional clamp (7) having:
- a main body (27) configured to selectively clamp and unclamp the lower part of the tower of a wind turbine and is shaped so as to couple with the crane vessel so as to define a given position for the tower with respect to the crane vessel; and
- a plurality of hooking members (31) extending from the main body (27) and configured to secure and release the free ends of a rigging assembly of the lifting crane to the main body so as to lift the multi-functional clamp (7) by means of the lifting crane.
