The platform, measuring in 106.6 metres length, 44.2 metres width, will be equipped with full-electricity propulsion system, and have an accommodation capacity of 120 people.
It is the fifth new offshore platform contract Bestway has bagged this year, and the 11th wind power installation platform the company has secured.
This platform will be constructed at Bestway’s production base in Taizhou.
