The scope of work for VBMS consists of the shore landing, installation and burial of three 33-kilometer long sections of export cable which are part of total cable lengths of approximately 134 km, 140 km and 152 km to be installed by Tideway.

The project will be executed in Q1 and Q2 of 2018, the company noted.

Arno van Poppel, managing director VBMS, said “We are very pleased to have been contracted by Tideway for these specialist nearshore installation activities and are confident to deliver this prestigious project to DONG Energy together with Tideway in a safe and efficient manner.”
