Ingeteam Group has been granted a contract with the CSBC Corporation, Taiwan as the electrical system integrator of the very first Taiwanese built offshore wind installation vessel

The name “Green Jade” symbolises Taiwan’s renowned Yushan, the Jade Mountain. At a dizzying height of 3,952 m above sea level, Jade Mountain is the highest peak in East Asia and gives Taiwan one of the highest elevations of any island in the world. Additionally, the name ‘Green Jade’ reflects this trail-blazing vessel’s contribution to reducing emissions, and its role in bringing clean, green energy to Taiwan’s residents. By choosing such an auspicious name, CDWE wants to highlight the ambitions to develop the offshore wind industry and to successfully ‘scale the summit’ together.

This exceptional vessel highlights CDWE’s ambitions to further support development of the offshore wind industry in Taiwan and the wider Asia Pacific region. Green Jade will feature a high-tech, 4000-tonne capacity crane and DP3 capability. The vessel’s deck space has been maximised, enabling this unique asset to transport a multitude of the heaviest monopiles, jackets, wind turbine components and structures in a single shipment. With this exceptional combination of high load and lifting capacity, ‘Green Jade’ can transport and install the next generation of foundations and giant multi-megawatt wind turbines in the most cost-effective way. At 216.5 metres long, ‘Green Jade’ can comfortably accommodate a crew of up to 160 people.

INGETEAM will coordinate and assure the correct design and integration of all electrical systems during the full project, from the early stages of the basic engineering to the detailed electrical engineering, including cabling commissioning and sea trials.
