Hamburg-based specialist shipbroker GRS – Global Renewables Shipbrokers – has provided brokerage services on turnkey solution basis for a geotechnical soil investigation campaign in Taiwanese waters. The campaign represents the first assignment of GRS in Taiwan.
GRS supported the European wind farm developer during the entire purchasing procedure for a one-stop-shop contractor and eventually partnered them up with an Asian company to perform the geotechnical soil investigation campaign for the nearshore windfarms Guanyin and Taoyuan Hsinchu in Taiwan.
The work scope consisted of Piezocone Penetrometer Testing (PCPT) including oversampling of Cone Penetration Tests (CPT’s).
“We are proud to have successfully been involved in our first project in Taiwan and looking forward to further bring our service and expertise into the area, where rapid growth in offshore wind activities is expected” states Philippe Schönefeld, Managing Partner of GRS.
The deal is in line with the industries trend to require one-interface-solutions and proved that GRS is well prepared to ease its client’s workload in their search for suitable and reputable contractors for any work scope in the offshore wind industry.
