The experience was part of a broader delegation tour in Taiwan arranged by The Royal Danish Embassy, to provide an overview of Taiwan’s local offshore wind industry.
Welcoming the group to our operations and maintenance hub in Taichung, local Taiwanese staff provided delegates valuable insights into how the hub supports construction and operations of the offshore wind farms on a day-to-day basis.
Ørsted is proud of its commitment to developing the local workforce, with more than 80 local Taichung people involved in the base in a huge variety of roles ranging from administration, marine traffic control, grid control & monitoring, engineering, QHSE, IT, facility and logistics.
The group were then also treated to a tour of the port facilitates themselves, seeing first-hand the scale and logistics involved of the port operations. They were provided a chance to watch as foundations were being loaded onto the transportation vessels, and were able to walk around the port where the huge 115-metre-long blades, tower components and nacelles were waiting on the dock for assembly and loading.
