For such remarkable project ever in Macau – the heaviest transformers to be delivered, Wangfoong project team spent more than a year in planning from logistics engineering to final operation. Under COVID-19, numerous challenging factors included quarantine for project crews, equipment mobilization with import and export formalities, overcoming site restrictions, closely working with clients at the site, and unexpected delay of mother vessel in final port, which finally we manage all issues under control and deliver the transformers and reactors on time. We appreciate all the supports from management, our crews, clients and different local authorities.
