As Taiwan’s windfarm construction effort is gathering momentum, so is Ampelmann’s involvement in its expanding offshore wind market. In the last six months, we signed another four contracts with different (end)clients to supply our systems to this important and expanding market. Two E1000’s and two A-types were recently mobilised in Taiwan. These systems assisted construction, cabling, commissioning, and hook-up of turbines on four different wind farms.

This also marks the first entry of the E1000 in east Asia. Well established in the wind business in other parts of the globe, this system can transfer both personnel and cargo up to 1,000kgs in sea states as high as 4,5m Hs. As the gangway can be converted into a crane within a minute, it is perfectly suited for various scopes of work during the different construction phases of wind farms.
