It includes a foundation for a strong partnership, elements of a strong local supply chain that can be expanded further into wider markets in Asia, and use and expansion of scope for existing ports in Vietnam. These three MOUs signed with companies operating in port services, fabrication and construction, and project development demonstrates CIP’s confidence in the capabilities of local companies, where successful offshore wind projects will need the support, guidance and good working collaboration of strong and capable partners and suppliers.
