The collaboration is set to establish Offshore Service Port (OSP) facilities to serve projects across sectors in South Korea, with a primary 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, located in Busan and Masan Ports, will cater to projects in South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region, said the partners.
According to the companies, the partnership responds to the need for an enhanced offshore wind supply chain and services to meet the targets outlined in South Korea’s Renewable Energy 3020 implementation plan, which includes 14.3 GW of offshore wind by 2030.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Samyang Marine Group to address the critical challenges in South Korea’s offshore wind market. With a strong track record of successful projects in Korea, including S-Oil’s Onsan refinery, the jacking of a 42,780t Arkutun Dagi topside at Okpo Shipyard in Geoje, and our recent jacking scope for Hailong Offshore Wind Farm project, this partnership is all about leveraging our combined strengths to create value and foster the growth of renewable energy in the region”, said Jack van den Brink, Managing Director of Mammoet Projects AMEA.
Recently, the Dutch company launched the SK6000 ring crane, said to be the world’s strongest land-based crane, at its Westdorpe facility in the Netherlands. According to Mammoet, the new crane supports the continued constructability of next-generation offshore wind turbines and foundations.
