CNOOC eyes jack-up for offshore wind farms

摘要

CHINA National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) will soon launch a bid seeking a contractor to provide engineering, procurement and construction services to build the company's first jack-up wind farm installation vessel. The decision to build its own vessel is in line with the company's strategy to capitalise on its expertise in building and installing offshore oil and gas facilities to diversify with the energy transition, including adding offshore wind farms to its asset base. CNOOC, via its vessel manager CNOOC Energy Technology & Services (CenerTech), has already selected a preferred bidder for the installation vessel's front-end engineering and design work.
