Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm

Taiwan's first Round-3.1 offshore wind project to reach financial close, and a clean example of Dutch and Belgian marine contractors splitting scope on the same project (Van Oord on cables, DEME on foundations) — the kind of specialised installation work that draws Dutch offshore crews to Asia-Pacific.
