Wind Energy – Taiwan
Seaway7 and Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) are pleased to announce that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining their intention to collaborate in an exclusive manner and further strengthen their offering to the offshore wind market in Taiwan.
The collaboration will focus on developing a robust localised cable installation offering for the Taiwanese offshore wind projects to our clients.
Seaway7 has been operating in Taiwan since 2017, and today employs more than 100 people between their office in Taipei and their marine operations base in Taichung. They will provide comprehensive project management, engineering and installation knowledge with an extensive global track record totalling more than 2,500km of submarine cables for offshore wind.
In Taiwan, Seaway7 is currently involved in four cable installation projects connecting more than 2.5GW to the Taiwan Electricity Grid.
DFO, a fully Taiwanese organisation established in 2019, will contribute their in-depth local market knowledge, and their world class assets and marine operations expertise.
Seaway7 also announced that after less than 6 weeks work with ST Marine shipyard, the newly converted Cable Lay Vessel, Orient Adventurer has arrived in Taiwan where it will be one of the key assets for our cable lay operations on the Yunlin offshore windfarm.
