The vessel, the 2016-built *Skandi Connector* acquired from Norway's DOF Group, arrived at Gamcheon Port in Busan on 7 July, earlier than the announced August target. The 10,000-tonne-class, 138.4-metre-long CLV was designed by Damen and has previously installed around 1,300 kilometres of submarine cables across 27 projects. Taihan stated the addition creates a dual-track installation system alongside its existing CLV *PALOS*.
