The signing ceremony was held at PTSC M&Cs manufacturing facility in B RaVng Tu on 5 August and was attended by representatives of the B RaVng Tu local authority, the Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam, plus other partners.

rsted is ready to support Vietnam to unleash its full offshore wind potential. Vietnam has some of the best conditions in Asia for offshore wind power, many outstanding engineering companies and a highly skilled workforce. Todays inaugural agreement between rsted and PTSC M&C demonstrates another step forward in our ambitions to collaborate closely with local suppliers to kick-start Vietnams new offshore wind industry, Sebastian Hald Buhl, Country Manager of rsted Vietnam, said.

Together, rsted and T&T Group are working with a large number of local partners and suppliers to deliver Vietnams first flagship offshore wind projects, targeting one project in the central south and one in the north by 2030.

Pascal Langeais, Head of APAC Procurement & Supply Chain, said: Todays MOU affirms rsteds commitment to develop and collaborate with PTSC M&C in the years ahead. It announces the beginning of a great journey between our two companies to produce reliable, large-scale green energy together.
