Last week, VSMC completed the first part of laying 52 infield cables for the Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm. VSMC started their work on 3 August and completed the installation of the 25 cables within a month and ahead of schedule.
VSMC was able to bring the start of the project forward by temporarily using the CLV Normand Flower, which had finished the cable installation at Meerwind Süd | Ost OWF ahead of schedule. The works at Nordsee Ost will continue as planned in Q1 2014.
Nordsee Ost wind farm consists of 48 wind turbines and has a total capacity of 295 MW. Nordsee Ost OWF is situated in the German Bight, the south-eastern part of the North Sea.
