Ørsted Contracts LOC for Greater Changhua Work

LOC Group has secured a contract with Ørsted to provide marine
warranty survey services (MWS) for the Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore
wind farms in Taiwan.

Under the agreement, LOC will provide MWS services for the transportation
and installation of the inter-array and export cables.

Technical document review and operational approvals will be undertaken by
the company’s London-based team, with support from LOC Singapore and LOC Seoul.
Site attendances will be resourced by LOC Taiwan, established in April.

The cables, including 95 inter-array cables and 16 platform connector
cables, will be fabricated by LS Cable & System in South Korea.

“We are delighted to support this significant project, which reflects
LOC’s strength and expertise in renewables and the region,” said Tim
Camp, Renewables Projects Director at LOC.

“It is also a milestone for Taiwan and an indication of the
significant progress that Taiwan is making in the development of offshore
renewables. We are looking forward to supporting this project and to
contributing to its successful completion.”

The Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms will feature 111 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW turbines installed on jacket foundations some 35 to 50km off the coast. The projects will have a total capacity of approximately 900 MW.

Van Oord is responsible for the transportation, installation,
and burial of the inter-array and export cables.
