DOF is pleased to announce the opening of a new office, together with a local partner, in Busan, Korea, to meet the rising demand of offshore energy projects in the region.
With a well-established reputation for innovation and forward-thinking policies in clean energy, the Korean market represents a significant growth opportunity for DOF as the oil and energy sector transitions over to renewables.
According to market analysis, Korea is set to develop 4GW of offshore floating wind by 2030 with a further 5GW by 2035. This means that Korea is expected to provide the largest offshore floating wind opportunities in the world. To meet this rising demand, DOF is excited to expand into this market and bring with them their expertise and capabilities from the offshore energy industry.
