Supporting OWF Yunlin to Achieve Major Milestones

Mammoet-Giant assisted Skyborn Renewables transport and load in and load out a total of 19 monopiles (MPs). These MPs are 8 meters in diameter, 65 meters to 89 meters in length, and weigh 1,000 tons to 1,500 tons, they are transported from Anping Port and Mailiao Port to Taichung Port by Jumbo HLV. This case uses a total of 72 axles of SPMT to complete the loading and unloading operations and to transport to the storage area for temporary storage.

These MPs are the wind turbine foundations of the Yunlin offshore wind farm. The Yunlin OWF is located in the Taiwan Strait, between 8 and 17 km off the west coast of Taiwan, at water depths from 7 up to 35 m. The 82 km² project area will comprise 80 wind turbine generators, whose generated electricity will be fed into the Taiwanese power grid via two onshore substations near the townships of Taixi and Sihu in Yunlin County. Once completed, the 640 MW Yunlin OWF produce enough clean energy to serve the energy needs of more than 600,000 Taiwanese households.
