Wind Energy – South Korea
Cyan Renewables, LX International and Blue Water Shipping have entered into a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the development of a next‑generation offshore wind marshalling port facility in Dangjin.
The agreement marks a milestone for South Korea’s offshore wind sector, paving the way for what is set to become Dangjin’s first port dedicated exclusively to marshalling for emerging offshore wind projects.
The 200,000 sqm port facility includes 480 metres of vessel berthing quay and a dedicated 14-metre deep-water berth, designed to support next-generation offshore wind installation and support vessels. With a ground bearing capacity of 10–30 t/m², the Dangjin port ensures robust support for heavy wind components and efficient load-out operations.
With Dangjin having the potential to become a critical gateway for offshore wind development, the MOU reflects a shared vision amongst the companies to help shape the future of offshore wind in South Korea, laying the foundation for a dedicated marshalling hub that will support projects from installation through to long-term operations.
As part of the collaboration, Blue Water Shipping will deploy experienced personnel with decades of hands-on expertise in handling offshore wind components to South Korea. These specialists will work alongside local teams to transfer best practices, operational know-how and safety standards, supporting the training and upskilling of the local workforce to international offshore wind marshalling benchmarks.
