Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) signed a preferred supplier agreement (PSA) with the Norwegian company Equinor<\/a><\/strong>.\nThis agreement focuses on the construction of the floating bases to be installed at the Bandibuli offshore wind farm,<\/strong> a large-scale project in South Korea<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHI announced the signing of a contract with Equinor, which includes the fabrication of floating substructures and the necessary maneuvering operations for the development of the Bandibuli project<\/strong>.\nThis agreement follows an update in June, when both companies confirmed their intention to collaborate on the construction of a floating wind farm off the South Korean coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration and expansion into renewable energies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In June, the CEOs of Equinor and SHI, Anders Opedal and Sungan Choi, respectively, met to discuss the possibility of expanding their collaboration beyond traditional oil and gas<\/a><\/strong>. The meeting also covered the area of renewable energy and low-carbon solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the discussions included the use of SHI’s Shinhannae shipyard in Geoje as a base for maneuvering and integrating the wind turbines into the floats, a crucial phase of the Bandibuli project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact of the Bandibuli project on the energy sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The<\/strong> Bandibuli floating offshore wind farm<\/strong>, also known as Firefly, is projected to reach an installed capacity of up to 800 MW and is expected to be fully operational by 2027.<\/strong>\nThis project has the potential to be the first major joint development between SHI and Equinor in the field of renewable energy<\/a><\/strong>.\nHowever, the ultimate viability of the project will depend on its selection in the upcoming offshore wind auction in South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, the project received Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval,<\/strong> putting it in a favorable position to compete in the auction.\nEquinor’s vision is to take advantage of the region’s windy conditions and position South Korea as a leader in floating wind power in Asia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to sustainability and the energy future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since signing a memorandum of understanding with the city of Ulsan in May 2019, Equinor has been working on the development of the floating wind farm<\/a><\/strong> in an area about 70 kilometers offshore. The project covers two sites of 75 square kilometers each<\/strong>, and once completed, will make a significant contribution to South Korea’s renewable energy mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration between Samsung Heavy Industries<\/a><\/strong> and Equinor strengthens the relationship between the two companies and marks a milestone in the move towards more sustainable energy sources that are less dependent on fossil fuels, a crucial step in the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
