PV Shipyard successfully launches offshore substation jacket for Taiwan wind power project

This milestone marks PV Shipyard’s inaugural full-scope execution of all three critical components of an offshore substation. It also represents a major step in the company’s strategic push into the offshore renewable energy sector.

The jacket weighs approximately 2,566.5 metric tons, while the four foundation piles collectively weigh around 2,263.5 metric tons. The topside structure, estimated at 3,390 metric tons, is currently under high-precision fabrication and is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025.

All foundation components were safely loaded onto the self-elevating barge EOS 4002 and have departed from PV Shipyard’s fabrication yard in Vung Tau.

This achievement underscores PV Shipyard’s growing capabilities in the fabrication of large-scale marine structures and reinforces the company’s steadfast commitment to quality, safety, and operational efficiency at every stage of production.

Offshore substations play a key role in collecting and converting electricity generated by wind turbines before transmitting it to onshore grids. The on-time completion and delivery of the foundation package not only affirms PV Shipyard’s critical role in the clean energy supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region, but also demonstrates its reliability as a strategic partner.

The project also highlights the technical competence and project management capabilities of PV Shipyard’s engineering and construction teams. More importantly, it paves the way for the advancement of Vietnam’s offshore fabrication industry amid the global energy transition.

Currently, the topside is under construction at PV Shipyard’s yard, featuring a high degree of system integration — including electrical, control, and other advanced technological components. Construction is progressing on schedule, ensuring the complete handover of the company’s first fully self-executed turnkey OSS project within 2025.
