Haewoori Offshore Wind has awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract to Aker Solutions and Principle Power for the foundations for the floating windfarm
Haewoori Offshore Wind is a 1.5-GW floating offshore wind project located off the coast of Ulsan, South Korea. It is being developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) in collaboration with development and technical partners including Copenhagen Offshore Partners.
As part of the scope, Aker Solutions will co-ordinate the design and delivery of the floating foundation structures required for the project and undertake front-end engineering design for the inter-array cable, marshalling port, wind turbine integration, and transport and installation.
Principle Power will work under subcontract to undertake the design of the floating platforms and mooring system based on its WindFloat technology.
Aker Solutions will also carry out execution planning, and work with Haewoori Offshore Wind to engage with the Korean supply chain to maximise local engagement in the projects.
Haewoori Offshore Wind chief executive Jonathan Spink said, “After a robust selection process, we are happy to collaborate with Aker Solutions and Principle Power for the FEED for the delivery of the floating structures for the project.
“The combined technical expertise and know-how of Aker Solutions and Principle Power will provide us with the capabilities to deliver one of the first industrial-scale floating wind projects in the world.
“Together, we will continue to engage the Korean supply chain to bring the knowledge from real deployment experience, thereby helping South Korea to accelerate its floating offshore wind industry, while reducing cost and risk for these first projects.”
Work will start immediately on FEED and is due to be completed by November 2024.
