Marco Polo Marine’s offshore wind subsidiary, PKR Offshore (PKRO), has signed a framework agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy for the charter of two commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) to support offshore wind projects in Taiwan.
The agreement will initially run for two years from 2029, with an option to start in 2028 and provisions for further one- to three-year extensions.
Under the framework agreement, PKRO will deploy two of its CSOVs on a non-exclusive basis for Siemens Gamesa’s offshore wind projects in Taiwan, with the two companies to also cooperate on projects in South Korea and Japan.
The vessels covered by the agreement include PKRO’s second CSOV, currently under construction at Marco Polo Marine’s Batam shipyard in Indonesia and scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2028, as well as a third vessel that is still in the planning stage. Both CSOVs will be equipped with Siemens Energy’s BlueDrive PlusC hybrid propulsion system.
The agreement builds on PKRO’s existing offshore wind activities in Taiwan, where its first CSOV, Wind Archer , has been operating since entering service in 2025.
