JAS Projects successfully completed the Koh Sichang Islands – Submarine Electric Transmission Line Project, designed to enhance the electrical infrastructure of the Sichang Islands in Thailand. This initiative ensures a reliable power supply for residents and businesses on the islands. 

From October to November 2024, JAS Projects executed a complex transportation operation that began at the port of Shanghai, China, and concluded at Siam Kerrz Seaport in Laem Chabang, Thailand. The cargo included two packages with a total weight of 327,476.00 KGS and a volume of 322 CBMs, featuring a specially designed basket carrying a submarine cable and its accessories. 

The success of this project was driven by the collaborative expertise of JAS Projects teams in Vietnam, China, and Thailand. The teams developed a comprehensive logistics solution, starting with the design and fabrication of a seaworthy cable basket. The design was technically vetted and approved by a Marine Surveyor before the operation began. 

Key steps in the project included: 

  • Assembling the cable basket at a fabrication yard in China. 
  • Lifting and securely sea-fastening the basket onto a barge. 
  • Transporting the basket from the fabrication hall to a jetty. 
  • Spooling the submarine cable from a storage area into the basket. 
  • Moving the cargo from the jetty to Shanghai Seaport, where it was loaded onto a multi-purpose vessel (MPV). 

The MPV then embarked on its sea voyage to Laem Chabang Port in Thailand. Upon arrival, the vessel’s cranes discharged the cable basket onto the receiver’s barge in Thai waters. Marine Warranty Surveyors (MWS) oversaw the entire operation, from steel cutting for the basket fabrication to its final discharge. 

This project demonstrated the exceptional capabilities of the JAS Projects team in managing international logistics with precision and efficiency. Through seamless coordination and expertise, the team delivered a successful transportation solution for this critical infrastructure initiative.
