Danish firms form Taiwanese offshore joint venture

Danish firms Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime have formed a joint venture (JV) with Taiwanese shipbuilder CSBC Corporation to produce and supply offshore substations.

Taiwan’s 682MW of installed wind capacity is onshore, but the Bladt-Semco-CSBC joint venture is the latest in a series of developments for the country’s offshore wind sector.

Bladt and CSBC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in November to work together and Bladt worked with Semco to supply the offshore substation for the 165MW Nobelwind site off the coast of Belgium in 2016.
