ABL has been appointed marine warranty surveyor for the 390MW Shinan Ui offshore wind farm in South Korea.
The project is developed by Shinan-Ui Offshore Wind, a consortium consisting of Hanwha Ocean, SK Eternix, KOMIPO, Future Energy Fund and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, ABL said.
ABL will support transportation and installation operations and provide marine assurance services for the proposed marine spread, the company added.
The Shinan Ui offshore wind farm will include 26 turbines on bottom-fixed foundations installed near south of the Ui-do island.
“This will be a breakout offshore wind development for South Korea’s energy landscape. Our in-country team will bring both a local and global MWS track record for offshore wind farm installations, to help our client ensure the safe, efficient and timely delivery of this project,” said Junyoung Kim (pictured), operations lead in South Korea at ABL.
ABL’s scope includes technical document review and approval of procedures, drawings and offshore package documentation as well as suitability surveys of the proposed fleet.
The company will also attend on site to review and approve all warranted marine operations.
Part of ABL Group, ABL has supported more than 330 offshore wind projects worldwide in a range of technical roles.
The group has supported more than 8GW of offshore wind capacity in South Korea across services including technical due diligence, marine operations and subsea cabling MWS.
