Taihan has acquired the Skandi Connector submarine cable vessel, strengthening its offshore cable installation capabilities. This 10,000-ton class vessel can carry up to 7,000 tonnes of submarine cable in a single operation, supporting both intra-array and export cable installation for offshore wind projects.
The acquisition also positions Taihan to expand into long-distance interconnection systems and HVDC transmission networks, which continue to grow in global energy infrastructure.

Advanced Capabilities for Offshore Projects
Damen Shipyards designed the Skandi Connector, and DOF Group previously operated the vessel. It features a DP2 dynamic positioning system and high-spec installation equipment, including a large carousel and advanced tensioners.
In addition, the vessel reaches speeds of up to 12 knots and operates efficiently in various marine environments. Its flat-bottom hull allows stable performance in shallow waters, making it well suited for coastal regions such as the West Sea, where tidal currents remain strong and depths stay relatively low.
Taihan expects delivery of the vessel to South Korea in August, further strengthening its offshore project capabilities.
