Since the government has fully committed to developing offshore wind power and establishing Taiwan as a hub for offshore wind technology in Asia, the CR CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY (referred to as the "CR") has been guided by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection to provide the financial and insurance industries with insights on maritime engineering investments. This includes analysis of industry trends, inspection regulations, risk assessments, and local issues, as well as identifying relevant risks and key technologies. On the 30th of this month, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection hosted the "Practical Exchange and Site Visit on Managing Investment Risks in Offshore Engineering Vessels." They invited the Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection, Mega Bank, Mega Insurance, Cooperative Bank, Taishin Bank, Taipei Fubon Bank, Fubon Insurance, CTBC Bank, Bank of Taiwan, Crédit Agricole, and others to visit the "Geo Energy" and "Orient Constructor" vessels.

        The "Geo Energy" is Taiwan's first domestically flagged exploration vessel equipped with a DP2 dynamic positioning system and an automated drill pipe handling system, providing excellent marine geological survey services for Taiwan's offshore wind power industry. The "Orient Constructor" is Taiwan's first domestically flagged large offshore work vessel. It is equipped with two auto vehicle deployment systems, a 250-ton compensated crane, and a dynamic compensation gangway to enhance crew safety and efficiency. It has assisted in several projects, including underwater explosive detection and geological drilling support for Taiwan's wind farms, and is currently providing services related to the operation and maintenance of domestic offshore wind farms.

       During this exchange, Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection, along with Dongfang OFFSHORE, GIANT Heavy Machinery Service, and PDE Offshore Corporation, shared practical experiences on topics such as onshore construction capacity for offshore wind power and wind farm development exploration achievements. The aim was to help financial and insurance professionals better understand the technical aspects of maritime engineering, strengthen confidence in the local industry supply chain, and seize market opportunities in this trillion-dollar industry.
