圖:Good Morning Your Excellency Mr. Cheng, Vice-Premier of Taiwan, Your Excellency Mrs. Wang, Minister of Economic Affairs, distinguished representatives from the Executive Yuan, the Ministries, the Kaohsiung City Government, eminent guests, ladies and gentlemen 行政院鄭副院長、經濟部王部長、行政院各部會官員、及各位女士、先生嘉賓們。大家早安。 WOW. What a majestic installation vessel the Green Jade is. 大家可以往身後看一下,「環海翡翠輪」是一艘多麼雄偉的海上工程安裝船 For me, it is the first time I have seen her in real life with the spacious deck and I am really overwhelmed. What a sturdy piece of work emerged from a collaboration between CSBC Corporation, Taiwan, and the DEME Group from Belgium. DEME is very proud to partner with CSBC on this prestigious project and to support the Taiwanese government in achieving its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. 對我而言;今天是第一次實際看到如此巨大的翡翠輪,能由台船及比利時DEME集團共同合作建造出如此優秀的工程船,我非常感動。同時,DEME集團也非常榮幸能參與台灣風場的開發,以支持台灣於2050年零碳排之政策目標。 As Chairman of the Board of Directors of DEME it gives me great pleasure to join all of you this morning on the occasion of one of the most exciting maritime rituals, the christening ceremony of this exceptional Green Jade. 今天我以DEME集團董事長與大家共同出席這場非常振奮人心的環海翡翠輪交船儀式。 Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. We all agree on that. Taiwan, too, is on a mission to become sustainable. With her government, president Tsai Ing-wen has set an ambitious goal of achieving climate neutrality within several decades. An objective DEME wholeheartedly support. This ceremony is a marvellous step towards achieving that goal. 我們都深知氣候變化是這個時代最艱困地挑戰,我們也認同台灣也兼負著這個同樣的任務。當然台灣蔡英文總統與政府對於友善地球制定了遠大的目標,期許在未來幾十年內能達到碳中和的願景,DEME集團當然會全心全意地支持,而今天交船之儀式,就是朝向這個目標邁出這美麗的第一步。 And in this context, I naturally thank our godmother Ms Wang for her willingness to perform the christening ceremony of this world’s second largest installation vessel. 而我們也要感謝經濟部王部長為世界第二大型安裝船「環海翡翠輪」擔任交船典禮之擲瓶女士(Godmother) ,為這艘船作祈福儀式。 The Green Jade is the first Taiwan-built offshore wind installation vessel operating under Taiwanese flag with Kaohsiung as home port. CDWE is looking forward to an efficient cooperation with the city council and port authorities of Kaohsiung, represented here today by Major Chen Chi-Mai.
