Sam Dowey, Managing Director at Correll Services, said: “We feel privileged to have been selected by Jan De Nul Group to work alongside them on this very prestigious project. For us to be completing the cable T & T works on the first major offshore windfarm in Taiwanese waters, is a fantastic achievement. In association with our parent company, RTS Wind AG, we have opened a branch office in Taiwan and look forward to developing further business opportunities in the region.”
