Engineering heavy lifting and transport specialist Mammoet formed a strategic partnership with Samyang Marine Group to support the growth of South Korea’s offshore wind industry.

The partnership will establish Offshore Service Ports (OSPs) in Busan and Masan to provide comprehensive logistics services, including handling, staging, marshaling, stevedoring, heavy lifting, and installation. These services are essential for the construction and operation of offshore wind farms.

Mammoet’s extensive offshore wind experience and Samyang Marine Group’s local knowledge and expertise will create a strong foundation for providing world-class services to the South Korean market, the two companies said.

The partnership aims to address the critical challenges facing South Korea’s offshore wind supply chain and support the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets. By offering a comprehensive range of services, Mammoet and Samyang Marine Group will play a vital role in driving the growth of the offshore wind industry in South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

South Korea’s Renewable Energy 3020 implementation plan entails the installation of 14.3 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

“South Korea’s offshore wind sector holds immense potential, and our partnership with Mammoet brings together local and international expertise to provide comprehensive solutions for the industry. Together, we will deliver world-class services to support the construction and operation of offshore wind farms, driving the sector’s growth.” said S.C. Roe, Chairman of Samyang Marine Group.

Jack van den Brink, Managing Director of Mammoet Projects AMEA, added, “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.”
