Ta San Shang Marine has taken delivery of TSS Cruiser, a new construction service operation vessel built by Damen for Taiwan’s offshore wind sector.

The 90 m vessel was constructed in Vietnam under a contract signed in 2023 between Ta San Shang Marine and Damen. Delivery took place on 4 May.

Ta San Shang Marine is a joint venture between Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Taiwan’s Ta Tong Marine. The CSOV will support offshore wind farm activities in Taiwan.

TSS Cruiser is methanol-ready and has been designed for construction and commissioning work. Compared with TSS Pioneer, the owner’s existing service operation vessel, the newbuild offers a higher-capacity crane and more optimised deck space.

The vessel can accommodate 120 personnel onboard, supporting offshore wind projects during the construction and commissioning phases.
