Wednesday 23 March 2022
Sembcorp Marine Ltd (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters Pte Ltd, has secured a contract for the construction of a Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (“WTIV”) based on Sembcorp Marine’s in-house design in collaboration with the customer.
The WTIV project is scheduled to be completed in early 2025. Sembcorp Marine collaborated with its customer intensively over two years providing design development and verification work. Drawing from the Company’s technological bench strength and world-class offshore engineering competencies, Sembcorp Marine will build a WTIV capable of operating at a high level of efficiency and to handle the next generation of wind turbines which are scaled up in size with longer, lighter rotor blades, taller towers, more reliable drive trains, performance optimising control systems and multi-megawatt power generation.
Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters Senior Vice President, Mr Wong Teck Cheong said, “We are grateful for the confidence our customer has placed with Sembcorp Marine to bring this breakthrough WTIV design to the offshore wind market. The Group looks forward to continuing the close collaboration with our customer to execute this project and contribute to the pace of energy transition.”
