Orsted has appointed consultancy ABL to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services on its 920MW Greater Changhua 2b & 4 offshore wind farms off Taiwan.
ABL will provide MWS services for the offshore transportation and installation (T&I) of the turbines and cables package.
The Greater Changhua 2b & 4 projects include the installation of 66 bottom-fixed wind turbines in water depths between 23.8 and 44.1 metres, located 35-60 kilometres off the coast of Changhua County.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
ABL’s scope of work includes reviewing, surveying and approving all operations relating to the transportation and installation of all wind turbine generator components and subsea cabling.
This latest award follows ABL’s MWS appointment on the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms.
ABL completed the service in 2022.
“The combination of our track record on Greater Changhua, our market-leading offering in marine warranty survey, and our experience supporting the development of over 300 offshore wind projects worldwide, has helped us secure the contract for this latest development phase.
“We look forward to collaborating with Orsted on more projects offshore in Taiwan,” said Kenny Ong, ABL’s country manager in Taiwan.
