Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) has won a seabed clearance contract for the export cable route at Dong Energy’s 1.2GW Hornsea 1 offshore wind farm off the coast of Yorkshire in the UK.
ESS will deploy its Scar 2 seabed system along a 25-metre corridor from an anchor handling vessel on behalf of Tideway.
The company will also carry out surveys and boulder grabbing workscopes from a second vessel working out of Sunderland.
The work is expected to take 90 days, ESS said.
ESS managing director Mark Gillespie said: “We are looking forward to working with Tideway and Dong Energy and to completing another successful seabed clearance project in the renewables energy sector.”
