N2  - The shortage of reliable datasets and resource assessments, resource variations, and lack of marine planning are the technical challenges facing o?shore wind energy development in Vietnam. This pioneering paper comprehensively addresses these challenges by ?rst screening available datasets to select cross-calibrated multi-platform (CCMP) data and validating them with measurements. The resource is divided into four zones of 100 NM-width from the coastline. The wind energy density (WED) and capacity factor (CF) are calculated using an 8 MW reference turbine. The assessment of the zoned resource and infrastructures is based on the location of synchronous power sources and ports, along with the variation of WED and CF. Zone 3, comprising of the Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan seas, the southern part of Zone 2 (Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa), and the northern part of Zone 4 (Ba Ria and Vung Tau) are found to have the highest wind energy potential, where the annual accumulated WED is 80 GWh/km2. The ?ve year CF and average wind speed in Phu Quy island were 54.5% and 11 m/s, respectively. These zones, with moderate resource variation and excellent ports are the most suitable for o?shore wind energy development. Zones 1 and 4 are recommended for far-o?shore wind farms. This work is useful to various environmental groups and is a crucial input to marine and power planning.
