Taipei-based Synera Renewable Energy Group (SRE Group) announced Aug. 8 the award of a 15-year service contract to Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) for the provision of a service operations vessel (SOV).

The SOV will support the operations and maintenance of SRE’s fleet of assets starting with its Formosa 4 offshore wind project, marking the longest contract in Taiwan’s offshore wind sector to date.

Under the contract, DFO will provide a newly built, Taiwan-flagged SOV to support Formosa 4 from the construction phase onward. Custom-designed for Taiwan’s offshore conditions, SRE says that the vessel will be built to “the highest European standards” to meet its “rigorous requirements.” 

The partnership is also expected to strengthen the local supply chain and support the sustainable growth of the offshore wind industry in Taiwan and across the Asia-Pacific.

The Formosa 4 project, planned off the coast of Miaoli County, represents SRE’s third wind farm offshore Taiwan.
