Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, Korea Register partner to boost floating offshore wind

This is to enhance capacities through sharing of technologies information and experiences.

The Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV M&O) and Korean Register signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on the development of floating offshore wind.

The MoU is intended to enhance competencies and capacity by sharing technologies, information, and experiences in floating offshore wind farms in the East Sea of the Republic of Korea.

“The collaboration with the Korean Register will help enable us to meet our own sustainability ambitions working in offshore wind in Korea and supports our ambitions to shape a better maritime world,” Matthieu de Tugny, President, Bureau Veritas M&O, said.

“That means delivering for our clients, supporting our partners by working on projects - and that will motivate our people to support the ambitions of our changing society.”

BV is expected to share its experience in developing floating wind projects in Europe, as well as its expertise and understanding of innovation in the project.

There will be further discussion between the two companies on potential future projects for cooperation.

“We at KR are very much aware that BV has the relevant technical background and know-how gained through the implementation of numerous projects in the Floating Offshore Wind Farm and KR, in turn, has diverse track records and network in the Korean Offshore industry,” Hyung Chul Lee, Chairman & CEO, Korean Register, said.

“I am confident that two Societies will have synergy effect and subsequently lead to a successful outcome. I am pleased to say that mutual cooperation between KR and BV will also contribute to the Korean Government policy on Renewable Energy. "
