Seaway7 has completed offshore installation of inner-array grid and export cables on the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan.
The company said the scope included transport and installation of inner-array cables, cable protection systems, and four export cables from the offshore substation to the landfall site using horizontal directional drilling.
It added that cable installation was carried out by the cable-lay vessel Skandi Connector, supported by the Orient Constructor walk to work vessel through partner Dong Fang Offshore (DFO), with execution led from its Taipei office.
The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project comprises the Hai Long 2 and 3 wind farms, jointly developed by Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Northland Power Inc., and Gentari International Renewables Pte. Ltd. with a total installed capacity of over 1GW.
“Congratulations to our vessel and project teams whose dedication and perseverance over the past three years have delivered this important milestone. While the project presented challenges along the way, these were successfully overcome through close collaboration with our client, local partners and subcontractors,” said Graeme Shotton, Seaway7’s project director.
