Seaway7 CEO Stuart Fitzgerald said: “We are looking forward to supporting SRE on the Formosa 4 project and being able to continue contributing to the Taiwanese offshore wind targets with our seventh contract award since entering the Taiwanese market in 2019.”

In February 2023, Seaway7 was contracted to install the inner-array grid and export cables for the Hai Long offshore wind project in Taiwan.

The contract’s scope included the transport and installation of inner-array cables, as well as the respective cable protection systems and four export cables.

To carry out this project, Seaway7 will use the Maersk Connector cable-lay vessel, which is on long-term charter to the company.
