VBMS Finalizes Galloper OWF Inter-Array Cables Installation

VBMS has completed the installation of the inter-array cables for the Galloper offshore wind farm. 

VBMS installed the last inter-array cable, out of 56 total, for the offshore wind farm on Tuesday, the company informed through its social media.

Cable laying vessel (CLV) Ndurance together with the HD3 plough have simultaneously layed and buried 70 kilometers of cable off the coast of Suffolk, UK.

The company secured the contract for the supply and installation of the Galloper inter-array cables in October 2015.

VBMS hired JDR for the supply of cables, which were manufactured during 2016, at the JDR’s Hartlepool facilities in the North East of England.

The Galloper offshore wind farm will have a total capacity of approximately 340 megawatts.
