Consortium partners Semco Maritime and PTSC M&C have completed the successful load-out and sail-away of the second and last offshore substation for the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project after being awarded the EPC contract for Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3 in 2022.
With the successful load-out and sail-away of offshore substation topsides for Hai Long 2 in April 2024 and Hai Long 3 on 8 March 2025, the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project is progressing well to meet the goal of contributing to the realization of the Taiwanese government’s energy transition ambitions. The project exceeds 1 GW and consists of Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3 wind farms in the Taiwan Strait 45-70 kilometers off the coast and is jointly developed by Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Northland Power Inc., and Gentari.
The consortium has delivered detailed design and procurement as well as the construction of the two offshore substations at PTSC M&C’s yard in Vung Tau City, Southern Vietnam. The Hai Long 3 offshore substation is expected to be installed and prepared for offshore commissioning by the second quarter of 2025.
“It has been a pleasure to cooperate closely with the parties involved in the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in recent years, and the strong team performance with our consortium partner and sub-contractors on this exciting project holds great promises for the future,” says Senior Vice President Renewables, Semco Maritime, Frank Holm.
“This significant milestone in the Hai Long projects exemplifies the unwavering commitment and expertise of our esteemed consortium with Semco Maritime in delivering premier renewable energy services. We remain resolute in our dedication to fulfilling our commitments to our valued clients and advancing the offshore wind energy sector,” says Mr. To Ngoc Tu, PTSC M&C’s Managing Director.
Tim Kittelhake, CEO and project director of Hai Long Project, said “The overall construction of the Hai Long Project continues to progress steadily. We are very pleased to have reached this critical milestone of our Hai Long Project through close cooperation with our partners at Semco Maritime and PTSC M&C. We now look forward to completing the next phase of the projects, enabling us to bring clean energy to more than a million households in Taiwan.”
