First Steel Cut for Hai Long Offshore Substations

Hai Long Offshore Wind Project and the consortium of Semco Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction (PTSC M&C) held the ceremonial first cut of steel in Vietnam in early November for the two offshore substations of Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3.

The ceremony has marked the start of the early construction stage on the Taiwanese offshore wind project.
As of today, Hai Long has procured more than 90 per cent of the steel required for offshore substations and is now making progress in accordance with the construction schedule, the developer said.

According to the project timeline, the offshore installation will be carried out in 2024-2025, followed by commissioning and grid connection in 2025-2026.

”The first cut of steel for the offshore substations marks an important milestone for the Hai Long project, as it signals the start of the fabrication phase for our project,” Felipe Montero, Project Director of Hai Long, said.

”The offshore substation is an essential part of the Hai Long wind farm. Starting the fabrication as planned is important for the future success of Hai Long. I would like to thank our partners Semco and PTSC M&C for their hard work so far and for allowing us to reach this milestone now.”
