TPC Offshore Wind Power Generation Phase II (OSS Jacket)
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.
