DFO and GO Offshore ink deal for offshore wind and offshore oil and gas vessels
The partnership will also help in GO expansion in Australia.
Dong Fang Offshore Co., Ltd. (DFO) has entered into a partnership with GO Offshore Pty Ltd. (GO), establishing the framework for future cooperation in the offshore wind farm supporting vessel business, and offshore oil and gas vessel operations.
Under the memorandum of understanding, DFO will provide vessels to GO for offshore wind and offshore oil & gas projects in Australia. They will also exchange technical knowledge and expertise related to offshore wind vessels, including service operations vessels (SOVs) and other offshore wind support ships, to enable future investment in newbuild ships for the Australian market.
DFO and GO will jointly pursue opportunities outside of Australia, including in Taiwan, drawing on the combined fleets and expertise of both companies to expand their businesses worldwide.
“The cooperation between our two companies will create new opportunities not only in Australia, but also across Asia-Pacific and worldwide,” said Polin Chen, CEO of DFO.
“This partnership with Dong Fang Offshore combines our local knowledge with DFO’s proven fleet and international experience, ensuring we can support both traditional energy projects and the emerging offshore wind sector worldwide with the same commitment to safety, performance, and innovation,” said Garrick Stanley, CEO of GO Offshore.
