TWD has completed its first collaboration with SK Oceanplant (SKOP), a leading Korean manufacturer and logistics provider for offshore wind. The partnership focused on the conceptualization and design of seafastening grillages for the transportation of jackets for the Fengmiao I Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) from South Korea to Taiwan. 

This milestone marks the delivery of the Fengmiao jackets, showcasing the strength of the collaboration between SKOP and TWD. Multiple jackets will be transported as full or semi-assemblies, with load-out operations scheduled to begin at the end of 2025 and throughout 2026 using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs). 

Each jacket component required a tailored design approach, adding complexity to the project. TWD’s solution prioritized weight optimization and operational efficiency, while ensuring structural integrity during both load-out and transit. Notably, the design avoids welding to the jackets, using bolted interfaces to enable fast and safe handling, making sure that the operation is reversible. 

‘Working with TWD has been a positive experience. Their practical approach and technical know-how helped us meet the transport requirements for the Fengmiao jackets efficiently. We appreciate the collaboration and look forward to continuing our work together.’

‘This project with SK Oceanplant gave us the opportunity to apply our transport engineering expertise to a new partnership. Designing the seafastening grillages for the Fengmiao jackets involved some unique challenges, but we’re pleased with the outcome and the smooth execution of the first shipment.’ 

– Christos Charalambous, Country Manager of TWD Taiwan

Despite challenges such as high sea state conditions and the substantial weight of the jackets, TWD delivered a robust and efficient design. The collaboration between SKOP’s manufacturing expertise and TWD’s engineering capabilities has set a strong foundation for future offshore wind projects.
