CNOOC Ltd in offshore wind push

摘要

CNOOC Ltd has started a selection procedure intended to lead to classification of its first floating wind project offshore China. The Chinese operator has selected three classification societies to go through a qualification process before inviting those that qualify to participate in the bidding process, which is to be launched towards the end of the year. The qualification exercise involves international classification agencies DNV of Norway and Bureau Veritas of France, as well as China's homegrown China Classification Society (CCS). People familiar with the qualification procedure told Upstream that CNOOC Ltd may select one foreign classification organisation which would tie up with CCS for joint work.
