Taihan Cable & Solution has rebranded its cable-laying vessel, the Skandi Connector, as the Taihan Connector, marking a global push for its submarine cable construction business. The vessel, a key asset in the company's submarine cable construction business, is set to carry out its operations under the new name, symbolizing Taihan's commitment to connecting submarine cables worldwide.
The renaming process involved a contest among employees, reflecting the company's desire to engage its workforce in its strategic direction. The Taihan Connector, an 11,000-ton vessel, was acquired from Norwegian offshore construction company DOF in May and is capable of loading up to 7,000 tons of cable at a time. It has already been deployed in 27 projects, installing approximately 1,300 km of submarine cable, demonstrating its safety and construction capabilities in global markets, particularly in Europe.
Operating under the Taihan Connector name, the vessel will continue to play a pivotal role in expanding Taihan Cable & Solution's submarine business. The company currently operates the only cable-laying vessel fleet for offshore wind power in the country, consisting of the Palos and the Taihan Connector. This strategic move aims to provide a system for deploying the optimal vessel according to project characteristics and marine conditions, thereby strengthening the company's competitiveness in the global market, from design and production to transport and installation of submarine cables.
