TPC Offshore Wind Power Generation Phase II (OSS Jacket)

10

Goals & Scope of Work

  • The TPC Offshore Wind Power Generation Phase II Project is part of a large-scale offshore wind development, in which the OSS Jacket serves as the foundation for the offshore substation system.

  • PPL carried out site-move and load-out for the OSS Jacket at PV Shipyard Port (Vung Tau), ensuring the transfer from fabrication yard to marine transportation for export.

  • The scope included handling one oversized and heavy structure, utilizing SPMT systems for transportation and executing load-out onto a barge in accordance with project technical requirements and site conditions.

Key Challenges

  • Weighing up to 3,200 tons, the OSS Jacket ranks among the heaviest single-piece cargoes ever transported in Vietnam as of April 2025

  • Large dimensions (44.6 x 44.6 x 68.65 m) with a complex center of gravity, requiring precise load distribution and stability control

  • High precision required during load-out from fabrication yard to barge

  • Site conditions at the quay affected by weather and tidal variations

  • Tight schedule aligned with offshore installation requirements

  • The transport route followed a complex S-shaped path within the yard, with tight turning radii requiring precise SPMT coordination and structural stability control throughout the movement

Solutions & Deployment

PPL implemented the site-move and load-out plan based on detailed engineering calculations and close coordination among all parties:

  • Utilized SPMT systems to transport the OSS Jacket, ensuring load distribution and operational stability

  • Designed a load-out method tailored to quay and barge conditions

  • Closely monitored key technical factors such as center of gravity, tilt and load distribution throughout the operation

  • Ensured seamless coordination between engineering, operations and site teams to maintain schedule and minimize risks

  • Supervised the entire execution process to ensure high precision at every stage

 

The successful execution of the project further demonstrates PPL’s capability in delivering large-scale load-out operations in Vietnam.
