(e) I also expressed my concern that the exclusion of PRC-built vessels in the nascent and limited supply chain of the Taiwanese offshore wind market may adversely affect the spread of available and suitable vessels which may adversely affect the timely completion of the various projects in development. (d) at the time of my earlier note, PRC-built vessels were generally not acceptable for deployment in the installation of offshore windfarms in Taiwan under the above guidelines and (c) the "Foreign Flagged Working Vessels Operations in Taiwan Guidelines" (申請非本國籍工作船來臺作業要點) provides that any foreign-flagged vessel built in PRC which is intended to be deployed in Taiwan requires a “Results of National Security Joint Review” by the "competent authority" (being the Ministry of Economic Affairs (" MOEA") in the case of offshore wind projects) confirming that such vessel is not regarded as a "national security concern" (b) a majority of such vessels are PRC-built (a) the limited spread of available and suitable installation vessels is exacerbated by various policy considerations and restrictions such as security concerns and cabotage requirements which excluded the possibility of using certain vessels Just to recap a few points which I had made earlier: In brief, I discussed, amongst other issues, the importance of vessel spread in offshore wind construction as well as the challenges relating to the availability and suitability of rare installation vessels in the offshore wind market which are highly specialised and in high demand but extremely limited in supply globally. This note follows an article I shared earlier this year on called " Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: A Perspective on Vessel Availability and Suitability for OFW Projects" – see
