ABL appointed to 390 MW South Korean offshore wind project
Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been appointed marine warranty surveyor (MWS) to support the transportation and installation of the Shinan-Ui offshore wind farm – a 390 MW wind project.
The project is developed by Shinan-Ui Offshore Wind, a consortium consisting of Hanwha Ocean, SK Eternix, KOMIPO (Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd.), Future Energy Fund, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
The Shinan-Ui offshore wind farm aims to triple South Korea’s renewable energy generation by 2030, and will include both wind and solar PV capacity. It will include 26 wind turbines, installed near the south of the Ui-do island, on bottom-fixed foundations.
