Motive Breaking New Ground with Taiwan Renewables Hub
• Facility has already resulted in the creation of 10 in-region jobs with plans for further recruitment over the coming months
• Local trading and investment will be further bolstered with the formation of the Subsea Cable Alliance
Taipei, Taiwan/Aberdeen, UK, 9th March 2022: Motive Offshore Group, which specialises in the design, manufacture, rental and inspection of marine and lifting equipment, has announced the launch of its latest international entity; a dedicated renewables hub located in Tapei, Taiwan, with an operational base near Taichung Port.
This represents the Group’s first facility in the Far East with Eddie Moore making a permanent move to the country as Regional Director of APAC. One of the first companies to support the region’s burgeoning offshore wind market, this move allows Motive to continue to build on their significant presence within the region while simultaneously creating jobs to support the local economy, starting with an initial ten new hires with plans to continue to grow headcount over the coming months.
The base, established to support the Taiwanese offshore wind sector, is Motive’s first dedicated renewables facility, reflecting the Group’s strategy to further consolidate its position within the sector, and ongoing commitment to delivering sustainability for the future.
Since entering the market in 2018, the Group has played an instrumental role in the development and commissioning of every landmark offshore wind project on the island to date, deploying multi-sector solutions to support the local supply chain.

The 'Subsea Cable Alliance' (SCA) L-R: Lynne Adu, PanGeo Subsea – Mark Gazey, Ross Gatt, V-TES Renewables – Dave Acton, Motive Offshore Group
As part of this regional growth strategy, Motive has recently joined forces with two specialist Aberdeen organisations to establish a strategic alliance for the renewables sector in Taiwan; the Subsea Cable Alliance (SCA). The alliance encompasses the expert capabilities of Motive Offshore Group, electrical engineering specialists V-TES Renewables, and marine geophysical-geotechnical service delivery company PanGeo Subsea.
The alliance aims to offer clients the opportunity to trade locally with a single partner, providing niche cable solutions through combined intelligence and capabilities, helping to reduce logistics time and costs, minimise contractual resource, and enhance vessel uptime.
