On the 5th, SK Ocean Plant held a business agreement ceremony to establish the 'SK Ocean Plant Offshore Wind Alliance' at the Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel in Changwon, Gyeongnam.

The council includes 24 key offshore wind power equipment companies such as Sangsangin Industry, Dongguk S&C, Samil C&S, Geonhwa Industry, Yuil Heavy Industries, Geumgang Heavy Industries, and Win&Pi. Participating companies will jointly respond to the demand for substructures in both the domestic offshore wind power market and the gradually expanding overseas markets.

Through this agreement, SK Ocean Plant announced that it has additionally secured 1.85 million square meters (approximately 560,000 pyeong) of external manufacturing sites, resulting in a 1.5-fold increase in production capacity. The expanded production capacity is expected to significantly contribute to the increase in order volume and sales revenue.

SK Ocean Plant promised to share its know-how on the overall offshore wind power industry based on its experience exporting more than 100 substructures, as well as to provide support in various fields such as management, technology, and education. Participating companies plan to provide high-quality offshore wind power equipment through close cooperation with SK Ocean Plant and based on each company's manufacturing capabilities and technological development.

Lee Seung-chul, CEO of SK Ocean Plant, said, "The SK Ocean Plant Offshore Wind Alliance will be the starting point for a major transformation in creating a domestic offshore wind power industry ecosystem," adding, "We will work with member companies to further expand our influence in the global offshore wind power market."
