Specialist Marine Consultants (SMC) has secured a contract to provide marine supervision services to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) for the Yunlin offshore wind project in Taiwan.

SMC said it will be working with ATLAS, the company’s proprietary marine management software solution, to ensure the delivery of services throughout the project.

“This project represents our seventh Marine Coordination project in Taiwan and our 44th globally. We are thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with SGRE again, continuing a partnership that is proven and effective, reaffirming our positions as global leaders within the sector”,
said George Moore SMC Business Development Manager.

“We’re also really pleased to have been able to build upon our commitments to the region in what are extremely trying times for businesses worldwide – it is testament to the values and competencies of both SGRE and SMC that we have been able to do so safely and efficiently.”


Yunlin is one of largest offshore wind farms being developed in Taiwan. It is to be constructed 8 km from the coast in the Taiwan strait, with a total installed capacity of 640 MW. The first half of the turbines will be commissioned by 2020 and the other half in 2021. The purpose of this project is to alleviate power shortages resulting from the scheduled shutdown of several nuclear power plants.

To remind, SMC established a branch in Taiwan in March 2019 with an aim to support the offshore wind sector in the region. The two parties previously collaborated in the region for operations across the
Formosa 1 offshore wind farm, Taiwan’s first commercial offshore wind farm.
