Aligning closely with the project financial close, reached by the client on 29 October, Jan De Nul has awarded the submarine cable supply and foundation fabrication contracts for Formosa 2 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
Formosa 2 will use piled jackets, where Saipem and Sembcorp between them, will fabricate the jackets, and EEW will manufacture the pin piles. LS Cable will supply the subsea cables. In line with Jan De Nul commitments to develop the Asian offshore wind supply chain, all jacket components will be manufactured in Asia providing opportunities for local skills development and manufacturing jobs including within Taiwan.
