In a move to support South Korea’s growing offshore wind industry, Mammoet and Samyang Marine Group recently entered into a partnership.
This collaboration is set to establish Offshore Service Port (OSP) facilities to serve projects across sectors in South Korea, with a focus on upcoming offshore wind projects. The partnership will integrate full-spectrum terminal management, including handling, staging, marshaling, and stevedoring services, with heavy lifting and installation capabilities.
The OSPs, in the ports of Busan and Masan, will cater to projects in South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
The partnership responds to the urgent need for an enhanced offshore wind supply chain and services to meet the ambitious targets outlined in South Korea’s Renewable Energy 2030 implementation plan, which includes 14.3 GW of offshore wind by 2030. Crucial to achieving this target is the readiness of the supply chain, responsible for delivering the components and services vital for the construction of offshore wind farms.
“South Korea’s offshore wind sector holds immense potential, and our partnership with Mammoet brings together local and international expertise to provide comprehensive solutions for the industry,” said S.C. Roe, Chairman of Samyang Marine Group. “Together, we will deliver world-class services to support the construction and operation of offshore wind farms, driving the sector’s growth.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with Samyang Marine Group to address the critical challenges in South Korea’s offshore wind market,” said Jack van den Brink, Mammoet Projects AMEA managing director. “This partnership is all about leveraging our combined strengths to create value and foster the growth of renewable energy in the region.”
Leveraging Mammoet’s expertise in heavy lifting and integrated logistics with Samyang Marine Group’s local knowledge and extensive terminal operations capabilities, this partnership represents a step in enhancing South Korea’s offshore wind supply chain capabilities, supporting the country’s renewable energy objectives.
