ULO Systems

ULO Systems has more than half a century’s experience within the global offshore construction industry, providing high-quality grouting products and services. And with demand increasing within the offshore wind seg ment, ULO is gearing up for growth. General Manager Gregory Sauvage and Senior Executives discussed the latest developments, during an in-depth interview with Imogen Ward.

When it comes to the offshore industry, UAE-based ULO Systems is a name renowned for quality. After dedicating a vast amount of time to expanding its capabilities across the entire offshore industry, the company is busier than ever.

Supporting new projects

To date, the offshore wind industry has been a successful endeavour for ULO, which has successfully delivered around 280 jackets (equating to more than 2.5GW of offshore wind energy).

One major project that has contributed significantly to these figures is Hai Long

Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan. Designed to have a total capacity of around 1.02GW, the idea for Hai Long materialised from the country’s desire to spearhead renewable energy development and implement a more localised industry.

This project not only marks a significant milestone for Taiwan, but also breaks new ground for ULO as the company’s first GW venture within the country.

“This has been a huge achievement for us, and an incredibly successful one at that,” said Mr Sauvage. “In 2024 alone, we performed offshore grouting operations for 37 jacket foundations and two offshore substations in line with the client’s objectives, and our performance was exceptional all year long.”

In total, in Taiwan alone, ULO has successfully grouted 100+ jackets foundations, largely for its customers BOSKALIS and CDWE, with the use of its vessel the Green Jade (Taiwan’s first offshore installation newbuild vessel),
