Heerema Marine Contractors is to transport and install 111 turbine foundations and two offshore substations for Orsted’s 900MW Changhua 1&2a wind farm off the coast of Taiwan.
The contractor will also be responsible for onshore marshalling services, as well as the seabed preparations and scour protection.
Installation will be carried out by Heerema heavy lift vessel Aegir, which is already in the area on another project, in water depths of 30 to 35 metres.
The offshore work will take place during 2021 and 2022, while complying with relevant local regulations in relation to supporting vessels and crews, Heerema said.
Heerema chief executive Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven said: “Heerema is very excited to participate in this large and unique project.
“Heerema has got what it takes to be a leader in the renewables market: great vessels and highly skilled and experienced people that are always eager to co-operate.
“The collaboration between Ørsted and Heerema is characterized by a mutually outstanding attitude towards this enormous project.
“We share the same mentality: it’s this engagement and mindset of people that enables us to plan and execute these complex operations.
“We will continue to participate in ambitious and sustainable projects like Greater Changhua.”
