Aqualis Offshore has opened an office in Taiwan to support local offshore wind and oil and gas markets, as well as the development of its sister company Offshore Wind Consultants’ offshore wind energy projects in Taiwan.
“Taiwan has a rapidly growing offshore wind sector as well as certain requirements for offshore engineering and marine survey services. Aqualis Offshore and Offshore Wind Consultants provide senior competence for the offshore sectors, so we believe that our experience can be utilised well in Taiwan,” said Phil Lenox , director – Asia Pacific, Aqualis Offshore.
In December 2016 , Offshore Wind Consultants was appointed by a Taiwanese renewables company to provide consultancy services related to wind turbine installation vessels and their suitability for different wind turbines and site locations offshore Taiwan. Under the contract, OWC is currently providing technical due diligence services to assess vessel suitability for wind turbine installation in the Taiwan Strait.
