Longitude has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sinotech Engineering Consultants to collaborate on offshore wind design and marine operations engineering in Taiwan and across the wider Asia Pacific region.
Longitude global director for offshore wind design Jan Erik Berg (pictured) said: “With Taiwan targeting 15.5GW of offshore wind power by 2035, the market needs a competitive landscape and progressive design solutions to achieve these goals profitably, especially as projects move into deeper waters. Together with Sinotech, Longitude combines local expertise and capacity to explore joint opportunities and provide a broader, in-country offering to support clients.”
Sinotech associate vice president Alan Chiou said: “This is an exciting partnership for Taiwanese and Asia Pacific offshore wind. Through this MoU, we will integrate Sinotech’s strong in-country track record with Longitude’s global capability and experience in offshore wind design and marine operations engineering. Together we can provide an exciting alternative to the current market landscape, with the same client focus that we are both known for.”
Longitude provides design and engineering services across offshore wind and marine operations, with experience spanning foundation design, subsea cable engineering, mobilisation and jack-up engineering for installation projects.
The company’s Asia Pacific operations are headquartered in Singapore with additional offices in Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia. Longitude is part of Oslo-listed consultancy group ABL Group ASA.
