Global Marine Systems has won an inter-array contract at the 350MW Wikinger offshore wind farm to mark re-entry into the offshore wind sector.
The company said the contract is due for completion in 2016-2017 and will be its first work in the offshore wind sector for three years.
Global Marine’s vessel, CS Sovereign (pictured) is equipped with a pair of powered 2300-tonne ‘basket’ turntables, which are designed to operate at a linear speed of 900 m/hour, thus optimising the cost-efficiency of cable-laying.
Global Marine chief executive officer Ian Douglas said: “Although we are announcing our re-entry into the power market, we are far from a newcomer in this important sector.
“We are committed to moving forward in line with the demands of the market.
“The award of the Wikinger contract demonstrates market confidence in our ability to deliver a professional, timely and cost effective solution to customer requirements.”
