About UsRotterdam, the Netherlands, 23 September 2020 – Van Oord’s Deep Dig-It trencher crossed the busy shipping route Rotterdam Maasmond successfully and is on its way to offshore Alpha jacket in the Hollandse Kust (zuid) wind farm area. TenneT is building the Hollandse Kust (zuid) offshore grid to connect new offshore wind farms. 4 cables will have to be buried into the North Sea seabed for this purpose. For the first 10 kilometres of the cable route, these cables will have to be buried more than 5 metres into the seabed in order to cross the busy shipping route Rotterdam Maasmond.
Following successful support activities for export cable installation works in the Netherlands, MPI Resolution has sailed to the Irish Sea and is currently moored in the Port of Holyhead in preparations for work at various offshore wind farms.
The work carried out by the MPI Resolution at the London Array offshore wind farm in the United Kingdom was carried out at the customer’s satisfaction.
