Wind Energy – Taiwan
The revolutionary offshore installation vessel Green Jade successfully completed its first assignment in Taiwan by installing the 31st and final jacket foundation at the Zhong Neng wind farm.
Utilising its 4,000-tonne capacity crane, ‘Green Jade’ played a crucial role in achieving this significant milestone.
This installation follows the earlier completion of the placement of 93 pin piles using our jack-up vessel, ‘Apollo’. Located offshore Changhua, the 300 MW Zhong Neng project is one of Taiwan’s first locally developed landmark wind farms.
CDWE, the Taiwanese joint venture between CSBC and DEME, successfully completed the foundation installation on schedule. This achievement keeps the project on track to be the first in Taiwan delivered according to the original timeline, meeting all established milestones.
Green Jade is the second vessel of its kind to join DEME’s fleet, following the successful deployment of the offshore installation vessel ‘Orion’, which entered the fleet in spring 2022. Both Green Jade and Orion embody a game-changing installation concept, boasting impressive loading capacity, lifting heights and advanced green technologies.
