First Cable Laid at Gode Wind

CT Offshore installed the first inter-array cable at Dong Energy’s Gode Wind 1 + 2 offshore sites yesterday.

Crew on board cable laying vessel (CLV) SIA had been prepared since Thursday, waiting for good weather conditions to install the J01-I02 cable.

The company is using its new trencher ROV, the CTO 107-1100, which has an operating depth of 100 metres with an option of up to 1,500 metres.

Gode Wind project will comprise 97 Siemens 6MW wind turbines installed 45km from the mainland and around 33km from the islands Juist and Norderney.

The wind farms are expected to be fully commissioned in the second half of 2016.
