Dong Xuan Thang – Director of the PTSC Mechanical and Construction Company, an arm of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) – said his firm has completed the construction of the 1,200 ton base (or jacket) of the platform.

The topside of the Marahaja Lela South platform is under construction in Vung Tau City,

Now, it is building the topside of the platform, weighing nearly 3,000 tons, in Vung Tau of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
