SMC Services and Engineering JSC (SMC) completed the SPMT load-out and barge transportation of the pre-piling template (PPT) for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind project in Taiwan.

The scope covered moving the PPT from Dong Xuyen Port to the transport vessel anchorage at Ba Son Port for handover to the cargo owner, working with strategic partners Alpha ECC and CDWE.

The PPT, weighing approximately 2,000 tonnes, was handled using 76 axle lines of Scheuerle SPMTs combined with 6 PPUs, enabling site movement from the fabrication yard to the quay and safe loading onto the barge. A barge with 14,000 tonnes capacity was then deployed to transport the structure to the transport vessel.

SMC said the operation was engineered and controlled with a focus on transport route, structural characteristics, load distribution, and equipment positioning, meeting the technical requirements for handling a highly complex structure. The company added that the work was delivered safely, on schedule, and to high-quality standards, with positive feedback from the client.
