Offshore wind and subsea contractor Havfram has secured a contract overseeing foundation installation on the 640MW Yunlin offshore wind project off Taiwan.
Havram has been contracted by the developer Yunneng Wind Power to provide project management and owners engineer services within the foundation installation package for the project.
Yunlin, located in the Taiwan Strait, off the west coast of Taiwan, comprises 80 Siemens Gamesa SG8-0167 turbines with monopiles ranging from between 970 tonnes and 1800 tonnes in weight and 65-95 metres in length.
Havfram’s team in Aberdeen, Scotland, will provide personnel contracted to Yunlin Wind Power, who will be integrated into the overall project team.
They will assist with the project management, engineering and logistics planning associated with onshore and offshore activities throughout 2022.
“Securing this work is another step towards achieving Havfram’s ambition to be a global leading company in the energy transition from offshore oil and gas services into the offshore wind industry.
“Our team in Aberdeen is highly experienced in the successful delivery of complex subsea and marine projects – expertise and competence that we can readily transfer into the offshore wind market,” said Odd Stromsnes, Havfram chief executive.
Havfram offshore wind director Even Larsen added: “We are delighted to be awarded the contract for the services associated with this offshore wind project.
“Havfram is fully embracing the energy transition, providing support to our clients with the installation of their Offshore Wind programmes, including foundation installation.”
