Singapore shipyard Strategic Marine and Prosperous Wind Shipping, an affiliate of Pacific Radiance, have successfully delivered a hybrid-ready crew transfer vessel (CTV) to support Taiwan’s Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm.
The StratCat 27 will be owned and operated by Prosperous Wind Shipping, and is designed for the efficient and reliable transfer of technicians and cargo, essential for the construction, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms. Combining comfort, speed, and safety, the fleet is tailored to meet the specific needs of the offshore wind industry in Taiwan.
Set to commence operations at the Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm in April 2024, this vessel marks a pivotal advancement in Taiwan’s renewable energy landscape, with the Yunlin project boasting an estimated contract value of around US$ 3m. This venture highlights the commitment of both companies to deliver superior services that enhance both the efficiency and sustainability of offshore wind projects.
Having secured a contract worth approximately US$ 3m with a leading entity in the renewable energy sector, the vessel is designated to play a crucial role in wind turbine generator installation operations at the Yunlin offshore wind farm. It will operate round the clock, facilitating the transit of personnel, equipment, and cargo between the selected harbour, the installation vessel, and throughout the wind farm, thereby ensuring seamless support for the project’s infrastructure development.
