Marine and offshore engineering consultancy Aqualis Offshore has opened an office in Taiwan to support local offshore wind and oil and gas developments. The purpose of the office is to promote Aqualis Offshore’s marine and engineering services locally, and to support the development of sister company Offshore Wind Consultants’ (OWC) offshore wind energy projects in Taiwan.
In December 2016, Offshore Wind Consultants Limited was appointed by a Taiwanese renewables company to provide consultancy services related to wind turbine installation vessels and their suitability for different wind turbines and site locations offshore Taiwan. Under the contract, OWC is currently providing technical due diligence services to assess vessel suitability for wind turbine installation in the Taiwan Strait.
