Vestas announces that MunmuBaram, a joint venture between Shell and HEXICON AB, has named Vestas as the preferred turbine supplier for the 1.3 GW MunmuBaram floating offshore wind project in South Korea.
If the project materializes, Vestas will supply and install 84 units of the V236-15.0 MW turbine for the project, located off the south-east coast of South Korea.
The turbines will be installed on floating foundations in the project area of approximately 240 km2 with water depths ranging between 120 and 150 metres. This will mark the first announced large-scale floating offshore project for Vestas, and the first announced project of V236-15.0 MW for installation on floating foundations.
Once installed, Vestas will also deliver 20-year service and maintenance for the wind farm. By establishing a dedicated local service organization, Vestas will contribute to local job creation and provide high-level training for offshore service technicians.
