KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MHB) has secured a subcontract of the first offshore substation (OSS) high voltage direct current (HVDC) platform.
It was secured through wholly-owned and major subsidiary Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), said MHB in a statement today.
The sub-contract consists of topside and jacket for the Ijmuiden ver Alpha Project from Petrofac International (UAE) LLC (Petrofac).
The job scope covers construction engineering, fabrication, mechanical
completion, load out and sea fastening, and architectural works on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC).
Prior to the sub-contract, MMHE and Petrofac had entered into an early works agreement back in July.
"MMHE has begun the preparatory works and deployment of key personnel for design and constructability support in line with Petrofac's targeted delivery of the OSS for TenneT's 2GW programme in the Netherlands," MHB said.
The OSS platform will comprise a topside, weighing about 30,000 tonnes (including equipment) and a jacket, weighing 10,000 tonnes.
The parties will also collaborate towards the possibility of fabrication works for two additional OSS units of similar size.
"MHB is wholly committed to the successful delivery of this project, upholding our commitment to stakeholders and recognising our responsibility to the planet and generations to come," said managing director and chief executive officer Pandai Othman.
"Gearing up for fabrication works, MHB will be expanding further the reactivation of MMHE East yard which will be utilised alongside MMHE West yard in delivering this project," he added.
