Japanese duo forge offshore wind vessels alliance
Mitsui OSK Lines and Toyo Construction are targeting opportunities in Japan and also abroad
Two Japanese players have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the aim of commercialising vessels to serve offshore wind construction activities.
Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) signed the MoU with Toyo Construction to target new business opportunities for vessels which will be required for offshore wind power projects, based on the demand for vessels related to offshore wind in Japan and overseas.
The companies will meet demand for various types of work vessels in offshore wind power projects in Japan and overseas by combining MOL's track record in construction, ownership, and operation of vessels with Toyo Construction's knowledge of marine engineering and technological development in offshore wind power.
The partners will “broadly contribute to value chains” in the offshore wind.
