Marco Polo Marine unit anchors $118m Taiwan offshore wind charter

PKRO will provide emergency towing and salvage services in Taiwan's waters.

Marco Polo Marine Ltd’s indirect subsidiary, PKR Offshore Co., Ltd., has been awarded a 15-year charter contract worth $118m (NT$2.95b) by Taiwan's Marine Port Bureau.

The contract is part of the Offshore Wind Farm Emergency Towage and Salvage Services Procurement Project and involves the charter of one emergency tug or salvage vessel.

Under the agreement, PKRO will provide dedicated emergency towing and salvage services within Taiwan's territorial waters and the surrounding offshore wind farm areas.

The vessel will operate under harsh weather conditions to respond to maritime incidents involving disabled, grounded, or drifting vessels.

Marco Polo Marine said revenue is expected to be recognised evenly over the 15-year period, with operations scheduled to begin in the third quarter of FY2026.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
