JOM will be responsible for the engineering and offshore installation of 21 Vestas V236-15 MW wind turbines. The project will introduce this turbine class to Japan for the first time.

The offshore installation scope will be carried out by the jack-up transport and installation vessel Sea Challenger, which will operate under the Japanese flag when offshore works begin in 2027.

The contract combines DEME Group’s international offshore wind expertise with Penta-Ocean Construction Co., Ltd.’s local execution capabilities. Through JOM, the partners will support further offshore wind development in Japan and help build domestic capabilities.
