BlueFloat Energy and Dajin Heavy Industry have partnered to establish a global supply chain for floating offshore wind.
The memorandum of understanding follows BlueFloat Energy’s recent alliance with Euroports and is the first in a series of upcoming agreements with key supply chain players in different markets.
Under the terms of the newly signed agreement, BlueFloat Energy, led by CEO Carlos Martin (pictured, left) and Dajin, headed by Jin Xin (pictured, right), will focus their work on technical innovation, supply chain enhancement and decarbonisation.
Joint initiatives will include identifying the most competitive floating foundation designs and exploring new technologies for improved performance and cost-efficiency.
The partnership will work to streamline fabrication and deployment processes for floating wind foundations, enhancing production capacity to meet growing demand globally.
Both companies are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of steel production and other critical components of the supply chain.
“We are excited to partner with Dajin in this new chapter towards a resilient and sustainable supply chain for floating offshore wind,” said BlueFloat’s Martin.
“By combining BlueFloat Energy’s expertise in offshore wind development with Dajin’s extensive experience in the fabrication and construction of steel structure products for the offshore wind industry, we are well positioned to make significant strides in decarbonising the energy sector and creating a robust, sustainable supply chain,” he added.
“Floating projects are the future of offshore wind power, and the mass production of floating foundations is also imperative,” said Dajin’s Xin.
He added: “Dajin has made in-depth deployment in regards facility planning, manufacturing technology, and talents reservation.
“Combining with BlueFloat Energy’s extensive expertise in global floating offshore wind farms, this powerful alliance is poised to vigorously propel the global development of offshore renewable energy.”
