Marco Polo Marine, Siemens Gamesa ink deal for offshore wind vessels

Projects in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea will utilise the upcoming fleet.

Marco Polo Marine Ltd’s offshore wind division, PKR Offshore Co., Ltd. (PKRO), has signed a framework agreement with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy for two commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs).

Under the deal, PKRO will provide two upcoming CSOVs for Siemens Gamesa’s offshore wind projects in Taiwan on a non-exclusive basis.

In addition, both parties will deploy PKRO’s fleet for Siemens’ projects in South Korea and Japan.

The vessels will be equipped with Siemens Energy’s BlueDrive PlusC hybrid propulsion system.

The agreement will run for an initial two years from 2029, with an option to begin in 2028 and extend for one to three years.

Marco Polo’s wind division has owned and operated the CSOV MP Wind Archer since its first charter in Taiwan in April 2025.

Its second unit is currently under construction at Marco Polo Marine’s shipyard in Batam, Indonesia, with delivery scheduled for the second quarter of 2028.

The third unit is in its planning phase.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
