Seaway7 has finished offshore cable installation work for the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan.
The scope included the transport and installation of inner-array cables, cable protection systems, and four export cables linking the offshore substation to the landfall site through horizontal directional drilling (HDD).
Installation activities were carried out by the cable-lay vessel Skandi Connector, chartered by Seaway7, with support from the walk-to-work vessel Orient Constructor through partner Dong Fang Offshore (DFO). Project execution was managed from the Taipei office of Seaway7.
Graeme Shotton, Project Director at Seaway7, said the milestone reflected the commitment and perseverance of the vessel and project teams over the past three years. He added that cooperation with the client, local partners, and subcontractors helped address project challenges and supported the successful completion of the work.
The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project, consisting of Hai Long No. 2 and No. 3 wind farms, is jointly developed by Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Northland Power Inc., and Gentari International Renewables Pte Ltd. The project will have a total installed cable capacity of more than 1 GW.
Located 45–70 km off the Changhua coast, the project is situated in water depths of 35–60 m.
