MV Resolution is a custom-built ship designed to install wind turbines on the high seas. It faces challenges like wind, weather, and waves. Resolution is unique with six legs, allowing it to lift above water and transform into a stable platform. The construction process involves installing a monopile, transition piece, and turbine tower, with each turbine capable of powering a small town.
