Wind energy – acquisition
Australian offshore services firm MMA Offshore has acquired 49.9% of the shares in the Taiwanese survey company Global Aqua Survey (GAS) to form a new joint venture, the MMA Global Aqua JV.
GAS is a Taiwanese survey company, founded in 2003 with experience in supporting the offshore wind sector in Taiwan.
The MMA Global Aqua JV will combine GAS’ local footprint, track record, and experience with MMA’s vessels, marine, and subsea expertise to grow the combined service offering to the Taiwanese offshore wind market, the company said.
The MMA Global Aqua JV provides MMA with a local platform through which it can expand its presence in Taiwan whilst giving GAS access to a fleet of vessels and other non-survey capabilities including engineering, diving, stabilization, ROV and inspection expertise.
