Cyan Renewables, LX International and Blue Water Shipping have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a dedicated offshore wind marshalling port in Dangjin, South Korea.
The partners said the agreement sets the foundation for what would become Dangjin’s first port built exclusively for offshore wind marshalling.
The proposed facility will cover about 200,000 square metres and include 480 metres of vessel berthing quay, along with a dedicated deep-water berth of 14 metres to accommodate next-generation installation and support vessels.
The site is also designed with a ground bearing capacity of 10–30 tonnes per square metre to manage heavy wind components and load-out operations, the consortium said.
As part of the collaboration, Blue Water Shipping will deploy experienced offshore wind specialists to South Korea to transfer operational know-how and safety practices to local teams.
Cyan Renewables chief executive Keng Lin Lee said: “Cyan is proud to be a member of this consortium with LX International and Blue Water Shipping.
“Together with LX’s infrastructure strength and Blue Water Shipping’s global logistics expertise, we will be creating an integrated ecosystem that reduces bottlenecks, strengthens supply chains and accelerates offshore wind deployment in Korea.”
Jason Goh, regional senior vice president for energy ports and projects at Blue Water Shipping Asia, said South Korea represents “a strategic entry point for offshore wind logistics projects in Asia,” adding the company plans to deploy its Esbjerg marshalling port model in the country.
LX International vice president P.R. Paik said the partnership marks “an important step in positioning Dangjin as a strategic base for offshore wind development in South Korea,” adding it will help support the country’s renewable energy ambitions over the long term.
