Siemens Gamesa has hired Specialist Marine Consultants (SMC) to provide marine coordination services at the 120MW Formosa 1 phase two offshore wind farm off Taiwan.
Formosa 1 phase two will comprise 20 Siemens Gamesa 6MW turbines.
SMC said the contract further strengthens the relationship between the two companies, which have worked together on offshore wind projects across Europe since 2009.
Formosa 1 is the 35th marine coordination project SMC will have delivered to the offshore wind sector, it added.
SMC is already providing client representative services for the project.
SMC operations director Dean Coates said: “We are extremely pleased to continue our work with SGRE on what is yet another flagship endeavour for both companies.
“This contract is our third marine coordination contract in Taiwan, adding to our experience in providing further services to the region.
“Taiwan and the wider East Asian market have become a particularly important area of focus for SMC in recent years and we look forward to providing continued and experienced support to this emerging market”.
