International Ocean Group (IOG) announced the successful delivery of its newest multi-mission offshore survey vessel, OCEAN SURVEYOR 8 (OS8) on July 25th. The vessel has officially joined IOG’s operational fleet and is set to support offshore wind survey and construction projects across Taiwan and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
As demand for offshore wind site investigations and subsea infrastructure continues to grow, IOG is expanding its local fleet to meet evolving industry needs with professional, reliable, and flexible marine support services. Measuring 36 meters in length, OS8 features an extended aft deck, A-frame, deck crane, and moonpool—allowing for efficient deployment of a wide range of subsea equipment. The vessel is equipped with a dynamic positioning (DP) system, and accommodations designed to support up to 14 days of continuous offshore operations, with enhanced seakeeping for extended-range missions.
OS8 is purpose-built to execute a broad range of offshore assignments—from early-stage development to construction support. As the most capable and versatile vessel in IOG’s fleet to date, OS8 enhances operational efficiency while helping reduce risk across complex offshore wind projects.
Looking ahead, IOG will continue to build up its integrated offshore survey capabilities by combining local operational strength with global technical expertise. With scalable, forward-looking solutions, the Group remains committed to supporting offshore wind developers in achieving their energy transition goals—delivering resilient, efficient, and high-impact support for the next generation of wind farm development across APAC.
