Work paused last month after the vessel encountered a “technical problem” resulting in a leak of about 100 litres of biodegradable hydraulic fluid.
Project developer Ailes Marines said that after a comprehensive review of the ship’s tools and equipment by Van Oord in the Netherlands, “all the protocols for monitoring and follow-up of the work have been re-evaluated”.
