Danish contractors Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime have set the seal on a partnership deal with Kaohsiung-headquartered shipyard owner CSBC to build offshore substations for wind projects off Taiwan.

Few details of the agreement were released beyond plans for a “close collaboration” between the three partners to support CSBC’s “ambitions of participating in the local offshore wind market”.

“We want to be an important player in the Taiwanese offshore wind market, and we know that with a strong and reliable partner in Taiwan that has great experience in the fabrication of complex steel structures, our trio will be able to reach new heights in the offshore wind sector,” said Bladt senior vice president Lars Kristensen.
