Techwise has entered a strategic partnership with DS Global Offshore Engineering (Tianjin) Co., Ltd (DS Global) to jointly develop the offshore renewables and oil & gas markets in Asia Pacific. Based in Tianjin, China, DS Global and its group companies own and operate a fleet of offshore construction vessels including its flagship vessel “HUANQIU 1200” (formerly known as “GLOBAL 1200”), multipurpose offshore construction vessels, heavy lift vessels and other offshore support vessels. The company specializes in transportation and installation of offshore wind turbines and fixed platforms as well as subsea cables and pipelines. This partnership will combine DS Global’s strengths in assets and full capability in project management & execution with Techwise’s engineering & marine expertise and wide client network in Asia Pacific. Through this partnership, DS Global has also appointed Techwise as its exclusive marketing agent for “ HUANQIU 1200 ” in Asia Pacific. Mr. Chris Sun, Managing Director at DS Global said “We have been working closely with Techwise in the past years. This strategic partnership further enhances both companies’ ambitions to be the key players in the regional offshore industry and is part of DS Global’s plan to expand our business in the overseas markets.” Mr. Jacky Liang, Managing Director at Techwise said “We are delighted to join forces with DS Global and present the combined strength of both companies to our clients. We will continue focusing on offshore renewables and deep water pipelay projects in the region and stay motivated to achieve higher customer satisfaction”. “ HUANQIU 1200 ” is a rigid s-lay and heavy lift vessel with an enhanced Dynamic Position Class 2. She is capable of supporting shallow and deep subsea developments as well as offshore wind farm developments. The vessel was acquired by DS Global in May 2021 and is currently working on offshore wind farm projects in China.
The potential in the US market is a big part of the draw for investors and operators alike.
