Wind Energy – SOV
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has awarded a 15-year charter contract to Cyan Renewables for its first service operation vessel (SOV) in Asia.
The contract will begin in 2026 and the SOV will be used to service 73 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222 DD offshore wind turbines in the Hai Long offshore windfarms, which are located approximately 50 km off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan.
Cyan Renewables’ SOV will have Siemens’ BlueDrive PlusC propulsion system for optimal energy efficiency while minimising its environmental footprint.
The vessel will also be designed to ensure the safe transport of service technicians year-round to maintain the Hai Long wind turbines. Cyan Renewables did not state which company will provide the design of the SOV or where it will be built.
Construction of the SOV is expected to begin in Q1 2024.
