Start your Great Ocean Journey with us
The offshore wind market in Taiwan has been booming in recent years. In 2020, IOG partnered with Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO) to bring an offshore support vessel, the Pacific Hornbill, to Taiwan. The demand for Taiwanese Ratings on offshore wind vessels has increased significantly, in line with the growth of offshore wind in general, IOG and SPO are now collaborating with TUMT (Taipei University of Marine Technology) to recruit talented individuals who are interested in offshore wind vessels to take part in training courses for our deck and engine departments. The aim of the training courses is to assist the cadets in obtaining STCW-compliant licenses that will qualify them for a rating’s certificate of competency. The qualified cadets will work on Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTS) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSV) and enjoy competitive remuneration. If you are interested to pursue a career in the offshore wind industry, you are welcome to join our training. IOG and SPO will fully subsidise the training costs and provide a modest living allowance!
What are the benefits of becoming a qualified rating?
Ratings are in very high demand in Taiwan’s offshore wind industry, and upon qualifying your monthly earnings potential is US$3,000 (NT$83,000) and above. Furthermore, when on board the vessels your room and board expenses are covered by the vessel owner, meaning seafarers can save most of their salaries.
