    FOR the last three decades, Mooreast Holdings largely served oil and gas companies, helping to anchor rigs and perform other deep-sea operations.

    But as the climate crisis deepens and demand for renewable energy soars, the mooring solutions company has found a surprisingly natural fit on the opposite end.

    Instead of supporting oil rigs, it is anchoring floating wind farms instead, using similar technology.
