Tidal Transit sets sail for South Korean offshore wind market 

The visit follows the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding between Tidal Transit and South Korean marine and offshore specialist, Sky Offshore.

The MoU was formulated to develop, fund, build and operate offshore support vessels across the region and help the signatories more quickly and effectively respond to upcoming tenders as the country’s offshore sector expands.

As part of the visit, Tidal Transit directors Leo Hambro and Adam Wright will attend two leading maritime events, Asia Offshore Wind Day, and the Kormarine International Maritime & Energy Exhibition.

Tidal Transit will meet with prospective offshore wind developers, shipyards and technology suppliers to help strengthen the company’s footprint in Asian markets and explore pathways for supplying crew transfer solutions to South Korea’s growing offshore wind sector.

Tidal Transit commercial director Leo Hambro said, “We are looking forward to taking the next vital step towards expanding our operations in Asia. The combination of Sky Offshore’s marine and offshore capabilities and our expertise in crew transfer solutions makes for a very compelling offering.”

Mr Hambro and Mr Wright will also travel to Singapore to meet Penguin International, the shipbuilder behind some of the latest additions to Tidal Transit’s fleet of CTVs, Arabella Jane, Imogen Rose and Anthea Luna.
