MHI Vestas Offshore Wind has reached agreements with local Taiwanese suppliers to source both fasteners and cables, becoming the only wind turbine manufacturer to source these components locally.
The futuristic looking design is created by a consortium of maritime companies looking to support the offshore industry by exploiting technology available today.
Specialist Marine Consultants (SMC) has secured a contract to provide marine supervision services to SGRE for the Yunlin offshore wind project in Taiwan.
The vessel, which will provide dedicated support for the offshore wind sector, is set to be built locally in the UK by Isle of Wight yard Diverse Marine, which was awarded the build contract following a competitive global tender process.
