The GustoMSC-designed vessel will be built in compliance with Taiwanese shipping law, will feature a heavy-lift crane, DP-2 positioning, legs with spud cans for challenging conditions, accommodation quarters, and will be capable of transporting and installing two 15 MW-class turbines simultaneously.

“Lamprell has a long track record of building self-elevating vessels and delivering large, complex EPC projects to international standards,” said Lamprell CEO Ian Prescott.

"This MOU demonstrates the capability and willingness of the international supply chain to step up to deliver high-quality, internationally competitive solutions, ensuring that Taiwan has fit-for-purpose vessels to install and maintain the growing fleet of wind turbines,” added Polin Chen, CEO of DFO.
