Rostock-based Baltic Taucher has won a one-year contract from Energinet.dk and 50Hertz Transmission for unexploded ordnance services on the Kriegers Flak combined grid solution in the Baltic Sea.
Baltic Taucher will be responsible for a geophysical survey, inspection of possible UXO and removal or detonation of UXO for the project, which will connect the Danish and German grids via the 600MW Kriegers Flak and 288MW Baltic 2 offshore wind farms.
The aim of the work is to reduce the risk level at the installation area along the two cable routes to “as low as reasonably practicable”, said Energinet.dk and 50Hertz Transmission.
The Germany-Denmark interconnection is planned between the Danish region of Zealand and German Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Operation is planned to start by the end of 2018.
