VSMC Installs More than Half of Dan Tysk’s Inter-Array Cables

Last week, Visser & Smit Marine Contracting B.V. (VSMC) laid the last cable in the southern part of the Dan Tysk offshore wind farm site, meaning that half of the 80 wind turbines are ready to be connected to the offshore substation.

VSMC’s work on the inter-array cable installation at the offshore wind farm continues in full swing, via its vessel Olympus Taurus.

The company signed a contract for DanTysk cable work in February to complete the electrical termination of the cables that have already been installed first, and then to install and terminate the remaining cables.

The DanTysk offshore wind farm is being developed by Vattenfall and Stadtwerke München and is situated west of the island of Sylt, directly on the German-Danish border. With 80 Siemens’ 3.6 MW wind turbines, DanTysk will be able to provide clean energy to up to 400,000 homes.
