Seaway7 Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm: Powering Taiwan’s Green Future
Seaway7’s work on the Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm sets a new standard in offshore energy for Taiwan’s future.
Seaway7 Delivers Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm: A Key Milestone for Taiwan’s Clean Energy Future
The successful completion of the Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm is a powerful example of what can be achieved when technical excellence, local collaboration, and resilient offshore teams come together. As one of Taiwan’s largest offshore wind developments, Yunlin’s 640 MW capacity now provides renewable energy to more than 600,000 households. This is a major contribution that supports the region’s clean energy goals. According to Seaway7, this six-year journey involved the delivery of 80 wind turbine generators connected through two onshore substations in Yunlin County, linking green power directly to Taiwan’s grid.
For professionals working across subsea operations, cable installation, and offshore logistics, Yunlin offered a range of valuable lessons. Seaway7’s scope included installing HDD ducts, export cables, post-lay trenching, and diving operations. These activities showed the vital role of specialized offshore talent. Each phase demanded precision and adaptability, especially when facing challenges such as shifting seabed conditions, strong currents, and limited underwater visibility. These are the kinds of conditions where the expertise of subsea crews, ROV operators, and cable-lay specialists is critical.
The project also highlighted the growing importance of local partnerships and supply chain development. By working closely with Dong Fang Offshore and using the MV Orient Adventurer for a localized cable installation campaign, Seaway7 combined global expertise with regional capability. This approach is becoming more common in offshore energy projects, especially in emerging markets like Taiwan. According to Seaway7, building a strong local team and reliable supply chain was key to overcoming logistical hurdles and environmental challenges while meeting strict safety and quality standards.
As offshore wind projects increase in scale and complexity, the demand for experienced personnel such as surveyors, divers, subsea engineers, and project managers continues to rise. For companies planning or delivering offshore energy projects, Yunlin is a reminder of the critical value that highly skilled and specialized crews bring to every stage of development.
