TPC Offshore Wind Power Generation Phase II Project (OSS Topside)

On June 21-22, 2025, at PV Shipyard (Vung Tau), PPL successfully transported and launched the nearly 4,000-ton (including launching girders) offshore substation topside, a massive structure manufactured by the main contractor PV Shipyard. This marks the first time in Vietnam that an offshore substation topside component has been entirely planned, transported, and launched by a domestic enterprise – utilizing a self-propelled hydraulic trailer system (SPMT).

This event is not only a milestone for PPL but also signifies a strategic advancement for Vietnam's engineering logistics industry – from dependence on international contractors to the ability to fully master the solutions, means, equipment, and processes for handling oversized and heavy components.

Goals & Scope of Work

Conduct site surveys and develop detailed engineering plans.
Mobilize, configure, and operate the SPMT system.
Transport the topside from the fabrication yard to the launching site.
Organize load-out/launching according to international safety standards.
Monitor and ensure technical safety throughout the entire deployment process.

Key Challenges

With a load of nearly 4,000 tons (including the launching beams), an extremely complex S-shaped route, limited space, and tight deadlines, absolute safety had to be ensured under changing tidal conditions.
