Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore and Korean Register have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) focussed on floating offshore wind farms in Korea’s East Sea.
The MoU is aimed at cooperation and relations to enhance competences and capacity by sharing of technologies, information and experiences, the partners said.
Following the MoU signing, there will be further discussion between the two companies on potential future projects for cooperation.
Bureau Veritas M&O president Matthieu de Tugny said: “The collaboration with the Korean Register will help enable us to meet our own sustainability ambitions working in offshore wind in Korea and supports our ambitions to shape a better maritime world.
“That means delivering for our clients, supporting our partners by working on projects – and that will motivate our people to support the ambitions of our changing society.”
Korean Register chairman and chief executive Hyung Chul Lee said: “We at KR are very much aware that BV has the relevant technical background and know-how gained through the implementation of numerous projects in the floating offshore wind farm and KR in turn has diverse track records and network in the Korean Offshore industry.
“I am confident that two societies will have synergy effect and subsequently lead to a successful outcome. I am pleased to say that mutual cooperation between KR and BV will also contribute to the Korean Government policy on Renewable Energy.”
