Offshore cable provider CWind has entered a joint venture with International Ocean Vessel Technical Consultant (IOVTEC), a survey and crew transfer vessel (CTV) service provider, to form a Taiwan-focused offshore wind training centre.

The new joint venture, CWind Taiwan, will provide offshore wind farm training and best practice, and support services to Taiwanese developers and operators.

Under the partnership, CWind, part of the Global Marine Group, will use its offshore renewables experience and ability to develop local content, while New Taipei City-headquartered IOVTEC will provide its knowledge of the Taiwanese offshore renewables market.
