The offshore wind power market is growing rapidly in the era of great energy transition. To lead the market as a game changer in the offshore wind power industry, Taihan established a production plant dedicated to submarine cables and secured Korea's only offshore wind power cable laying vessel (CLV). As there are only a few companies worldwide that have secured turnkey capabilities, they are expected to have a competitive advantage in the rapidly growing submarine cable market.
Securing Competitive Advantage Across the Entire Submarine Cable Value Chain
To ensure stable operations in the submarine cable market and identify diverse project opportunities, Taihan has secured PALOS, the only Cable-Laying Vessel (CLV) for offshore wind power in Korea.
Submarine cable vessels are categorized into two types: Cable-Laying Vessels (CLVs), which are purpose-built for installing submarine cables, and Cable-Laying Barges (CLBs) which are modified cargo barges. Unlike standard vessels, PALOS—a CLV—features a flat bottom that allows it to operate in various locations regardless of water depth. It is also equipped with advanced features such as Dynamic Positioning System (DP2) for precise vessel positioning.
