Palfinger has secured a contract for the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm, marking the 11th project in Taiwan and the ninth wind farm to be equipped with its service platform cranes. With this order, Palfinger is expanding its presence in East Asia and strengthening its role as a reliable partner in the region’s growing offshore wind market.
Formosa 4 is one of the projects that drives forward Taiwan’s renewable energy transition: The wind farm is 18 to 20 kilometers off the coast of Miaoli County and covers 58 square kilometers. With an installed capacity of 495 MW, the project will contribute to strengthening the country’s clean energy supply. As part of the contract for Synera Renewables Taiwan (SRE), Palfinger will supply 35 units of PF 200 fully electric offshore cranes, each with a 7-meter outreach. They will be installed on jacket foundations equipped with 14 MW Siemens Energy turbines.
“A modular design, high corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance provide turnkey value for SRE by minimizing vessel time, reducing operational risk and accelerating project schedules,” said Alexander Lee, regional sales director APAC at Palfinger.
Deliveries will be between the second and third quarters of 2026, with installation and commissioning scheduled in Taiwan within the same year. Once delivered, this will bring the installed base in Taiwan to 271 offshore wind cranes.
“The constantly increasing footprint of our reliable fully electric lifting solutions for offshore wind is a great sign of the trust of our customers in our lifting solutions and their qualities. Our global experience and cooperative approach as a reliable equipment and service partner brings benefits to the local Taiwanese market,’” said Javor M. Markov, Global Key Account & Segment Manager Offshore Wind at Palfinger.
