The work will involve Boskalis installing rocks on the seabed around the 71 monopile foundations serving as scour protection.
In total 325,000 tonnes of rock sourced from local quarries in Taiwan will be installed using a fallpipe vessel.
The work will complete by the end of next year.
WPD is developing Yunlin. The wind farm, which will feature Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines, is expected online in December 2021.
