A connector, for releasably attaching a wind turbine 6 to the arm 8 of a crane, comprising a first section for engaging with the end of the crane, a second section connected to the first section and being configured for connecting to and providing a support for the wind turbine so that the crane arm may act as a support tower for the wind turbine. Preferably the first section comprises multiple walls defining an opening to allow it to be slid over the end of the crane arm. The connector may have locking features. The system employs the crane as a support tower for a wind turbine, thus a wind turbine may be used to generate power on the vessel without a dedicated support tower or structure.
