ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands — Yunneng Wind Power Co. has contracted Jumbo Offshore to remove monopiles at the Yunlin offshore wind farm in the Taiwan Strait.
This represents an expansion of Jumbo’s existing scope, which has involved transport and installation of the transition pieces.
The vessel will be equipped with an underwater abrasive cutting and lifting tool and ROV. Fairplayer will use these to remove the monopiles in several sections before lifting them into the vessel’s 1,400-sq-m cargo hold for transportation to a local Taiwanese port.
There, the monopile sections will be offloaded to the quayside.
The wind farm, developed by the Yunneng Wind Power Co. joint project company and involving Skyborn Renewables, TotalEnergies, Electricity Generating Public Co. and Sojitz Corp., is 8 km to 17 km from Taiwan’s west coast.
The completed 640-MW development, which is more than a 82-sq-km area, will comprise 80 wind turbine generators in water depths ranging from 8 m to 35 m.
