South Korea’s Hyundai Steel on Wednesday said its Ulsan Factory 2 in the southern coastal city of Ulsan received certification as an offshore wind power plant from the Norway-based global classification organization DNV. 

Producing steel and line pipes for offshore wind power, the facility is the country’s first to receive the designation.

“By obtaining this certification, we’ve met the basic conditions for compatibility certification for domestic and overseas offshore wind power projects, which will greatly help land orders for related projects,” a company source said. “We've received recognition for our global competitiveness in offshore wind power.”

Based on client-requested specifications, Hyundai Steel supplies energy-related steel pipe such as high-strength thick models used in the lower structures of offshore wind power generators.
