Veja Mate Offshore Wind Farm is most pleased to announce the completion of its array cable installation and post-lay burial activities 10 weeks ahead of schedule.

Cable installation started on October 1st 2016 and since then Siem Offshore Contractors (SOC) successfully installed 73 composite submarine power cables totaling 97 km in length using their Siem Aimery and Siem Moxie vessels for cable laying and installation support. Termination and testing activities will be completed within the next few weeks.

Veja Mate´s Inter-Array Cable (IAC) Package and SOC´s Project Management, crews and vessels have proven their capabilities of executing cable installation works to the highest safety- and quality standards within a challenging offshore environment during a winter campaign. Veja Mate’s IAC Package Manager Klaus Zwirlein, said “We are happy to have brought this project to a successful end, ahead of schedule. Although the weather was kind to us, our achievement was realized thanks to the great team effort of our IAC staff and SOC project teams for their dedication and commitment.“
