Jumbo gets more offshore wind work in Taiwan

Jumbo Offshore, part of the Dutch Jumbo Group, has secured another contract in the expanding Taiwanese offshore wind sector.

Yunnneg Wind Power, a joint project company involving Skybporn Renewables, TotalEnergies, Electricity Generating Public Company (EGCO) and Sojitz Corporation, has tapped Jumbo for the removal of monopiles at the Yunlin offshore wind farm.

The new deal, which adds to the company’s existing scope for transport and installation of the project’s transition pieces, will see Jumbo Offshore mobilise its heavylift crane vessel Fairplayer to remove some monopiles, which were installed during an earlier project phase.

Jumbo has been working on the Yunlin project since 2021. The 640 MW wind farm, located in the Taiwan Strait between 8 and 17 km off Taiwan’s west coast, will comprise 80 wind turbine generators, and once finished, it will produce enough power to serve the energy needs of more than 600,000 Taiwanese households.
