Taihan Secures Advanced Submarine Cable Installation Technology​, Strengthening Construction Competitiveness- Completes four-year joint development with the KERI and executes technology transfer- Internalizes core installation technology immediately applicable to offshore wind farms- Signs comprehensive MOU for lifecycle-wide submarine cable R&D cooperation to accelerate market expansionTaihan has secured a key technology that enhances its competitiveness in submarine cable installation. On February 11, Taihan announced that it signed a technology transfer agreement with the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) for a new submarine cable installation method known as the “J-Tubeless.” The agreement marks the culmination of approximately four years of joint development between the two organizations, enabling Taihan to internalize a core installation technology that can be immediately deployed in offshore wind farm projects. The transferred “J-Tubeless” applies to the stage in which submarine cables transported by cable-laying vessels are raised to the lower structure of offshore wind turbines (riser installation). Conventionally, metallic conduits (J-Tubes) are installed at the turbine foundation to guide and protect cables during this process. In contrast, the new system utilizes a flexible protective structure and dedicated support devices, enabling stable cable protection and installation without the need for separate metallic conduits. The technology was developed through a government-supported research project on offshore wind submarine power network construction, jointly conducted by Taihan and KERI with support from the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP).  By reducing constraints in the cable riser installation process, the system enables faster installation and cost efficiencies while enhancing both construction productivity and long-term operational reliability, making it optimized for offshore wind environments. Through the technology transfer, Taihan has secured rights to this method and strengthened its differentiated capabilities encompassing design, manufacturing, and installation. This advancement reinforces the company’s competitive positioning in the global offshore wind market. Taihan plans to apply the technology to upcoming projects to further enhance installation competitiveness and expand its utilization in both domestic and international markets. In addition to the technology transfer agreement, Taihan and KERI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for comprehensive cooperation in submarine cable technology development. Under the MOU, the two organizations will pursue joint research and development across the full lifecycle of submarine cables, including cable characteristics and product evaluation, installation and maintenance technologies, as well as post-laying diagnostic and monitoring solutions, with a commitment to sustained mid- to long-term collaboration. A Taihan representative stated, “Securing this technology is highly significant in that it elevates our submarine cable installation competitiveness to the next level. Building on our collaboration with KERI, we will continue advancing core submarine cable technologies and accelerate our expansion in the offshore wind market.”

The investment period is scheduled through December 2027. Following the investment decision, Taihan plans to break ground on submarine cable plant 2 within the year. The first phase of the new plant will be a dedicated facility capable of producing 640kV-class HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) and 400kV-class HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) submarine cables. It will be equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including a VCV (Vertical Continuous Vulcanization) system — a core facility for manufacturing extra-high-voltage cables. The first phase of the plant is targeted to begin operation in 2027. A second phase of investment to further expand production capacity will be strategically pursued based on future market conditions. The site for Taihan submarine cable plant 2 is located in the Godae District of the Asan National Industrial Complex in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, adjacent to the company’s existing submarine plant 1. The site spans approximately 215,000 square meters — equivalent to about 30 soccer fields. Once operational, the new plant is expected to deliver production capacity nearly five times greater than that of submarine cable plant 1. With this expansion, all of Taihan’s domestic production infrastructure — including the cable plant, solution plant, and both submarine cable plants 1 and 2 — will be concentrated in Dangjin, creating strong human and logistical synergies. Vice Chairman Song Jong-min stated, “By moving forward with the construction of submarine cable plant 2, we are not only responding to the growing demand for HVDC submarine cables, but also positioning ourselves to actively participate in the expanding ‘West Coast Energy Highway’ project.” He added, “With our turnkey competitiveness in submarine cables, we aim to lead the global market, strengthen national competitiveness, and contribute to energy security.” This investment is driven by the growing global demand for submarine cables. The submarine cable market, valued at approximately USD 4.3 billion in 2022, is projected to expand to around USD 20 billion by 2029. In particular, the global HVDC submarine cable segment is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by the development of supergrids — cross-border power transmission networks — and the large-scale expansion of offshore wind power generation. To respond to this growing demand, Taihan is steadily expanding its production capacity in phases. The company has also secured PALOS, Korea’s only CLV (Cable Laying Vessel), enabling it to manage the entire submarine cable value chain — from design and manufacturing to transportation, installation, and maintenance. As only a handful of companies worldwide possess full turnkey capabilities in the submarine cable sector, Taihan is well-positioned to secure a wide range of business opportunities in the years ahead. 

The cable-laying vessel PALOS is currently carrying out the export cable installation for the Yeonggwang Nakwol Offshore Wind Project.    Taihan’s CLV ‘PALOS’ Successfully Completes Export Cable Installation for the Yeonggwang Nakwol Offshore Wind Project - Korea’s only CLV demonstrates performance in the challenging West Sea region- Hybrid vessel with selectable DP2 and Anchoring modes maximizes operational efficiency- Taihanprepares to join the ‘West Coast HVDC Energy Highway’ based on turnkey competitiveness   Taihan’s cable-laying vessel (CLV), PALOS, has successfully completed the installation of export cables for the Yeonggwang Nakwol Offshore Wind Project, demonstrating its exceptional performance. The project, located near Songido, Nakwol-myeon, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, is a large-scale initiative to develop a 364.8MW wind power complex. With a total project cost of KRW 2.3 trillion, the facility will generate enough electricity to power approximately 250,000 households year-round upon completion. The overall project progress has now surpassed 50%.  This project marks the first deployment of PALOS since its acquisition by Taihan. The export cable installation, covering two 28km lines, was carried out in two phases: the first phase took place over two weeks in mid-May, and the second phase began in late June and was completed last week. The installation of inter-array cables, also produced by Taihan, is scheduled to commence after July.  PALOS, introduced in November 2023, is a specialized cable-laying vessel acquired to secure Taihan’s turnkey competitiveness, spanning production, transportation, installation, and maintenance of submarine cables. As Korea’s only CLV, it was purpose-built from the design stage for submarine cable installation. With a top speed of 9 knots under its own power, PALOS offers installation speeds five to six times faster than CLBs (Cable Laying Barges) that rely on tugboats, and maintains stability even in adverse weather and tidal conditions. The vessel is a hybrid model capable of operating in both DP2 (Dynamic Positioning Class 2) mode, which automatically and precisely controls the vessel’s position, and Anchoring mode, which fixes the vessel using anchors as needed. DP2 mode is used for deep waters requiring high-precision installation, while anchoring mode, which consumes less fuel, is employed in shallow waters with minimal tidal influence, ensuring both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, unlike conventional vessels, PALOS features a flat-bottom design that allows independent access to very shallow coastal areas, enabling all-weather deployment across diverse marine environments. It is particularly recognized for delivering optimal performance in the West Sea, where shallow depths and strong currents make cable installation highly challenging. A Taihan official stated, “PALOS has proven both its stability and installation capabilities by successfully completing cable laying in the demanding West Sea region. Leveraging our turnkey competitiveness from production to installation, we anticipate creating diverse opportunities in upcoming large-scale offshore wind projects and the West Coast HVDC Energy Highway.” Meanwhile, in June, Taihan completed the comprehensive construction of its first Dangjin submarine cable plant, capable of producing both export and inter-array cables for offshore wind power. In the second half of the year, the company plans to commence construction of its second plant, which will produce 640kV-class HVDC submarine cables and cables for the extra-long continuous export cable, thereby strengthening production capacity to participate in the West Coast HVDC Energy Highway project.​
