Singapore companies are playing an increasingly important role in supporting offshore wind projects across Asia Pacific, as the region accelerates its transition towards cleaner energy sources.
From offshore engineering and specialised vessels to underwater robotics and geotechnical testing, Singapore firms are contributing expertise across different stages of offshore wind development. Industry players have supported enough offshore wind projects over the past two years to power nearly eight million households.
The growing momentum comes as Singapore hosts the , bringing together 16 Singapore companies showcasing capabilities across the offshore wind value chain. The summit is part of a larger series of industry events running through 2029, including , marking the first expansion of Germany’s WindEnergy Hamburg exhibition outside Europe.
Although Singapore does not operate offshore wind farms locally, the country has built strong capabilities in marine engineering, offshore infrastructure, and vessel operations through decades of experience in the offshore oil and gas sector. These capabilities are now being adapted to support offshore renewable energy projects across Asia.
Seatrium has expanded into offshore substations and wind turbine installation vessels, contributing to projects capable of generating more than 16 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity globally. The company has worked on projects including Hornsea 2 in the United Kingdom and TenneT’s BalWin5 offshore converter platform.
Mooreast is supporting floating offshore wind projects in Japan through specialised mooring systems designed to stabilise floating platforms at sea.
Other Singapore companies are contributing through seabed investigations, soil testing, and subsea inspections. BeeX uses autonomous underwater vehicles to inspect offshore wind infrastructure, helping operators reduce operational costs and improve efficiency.
Research institutions are also supporting the sector. Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine Singapore (TCOMS) is developing technologies for offshore wind systems, including floating wind solutions and ocean simulation testing.
As offshore wind projects expand across Asia Pacific, Singapore aims to position itself as a regional hub for offshore wind engineering, technology, logistics, and financing. Industry leaders say the growing ecosystem will create new opportunities for Singapore companies across the renewable energy supply chain.
