General – agency contract
Jan De Nul has awarded the ships agency contract to DHSS for its installation of high voltage cables for the grid connection for the projects Hollandse Kust (Noord) and (West Alpha) of TenneT.
Jan De Nul is responsible for the supply and installation of 210 km of offshore cable and will take care of the transportation, laying and protection of the cables.
First trials at the beach of Wijk aan Zee for the physical cable pull-in in 2022 have successfully been completed, by using water jetting technology to lower export cables via the customized Sunfish.
Another trial will be done, by trenching the cable via another sophisticated tool, called Starfish.
DHSS will assist Jan de Nul for this project from its support base in the port of IJmuiden and will be responsible for ships agency services, quayside logistics, local procurement, and husbandry services.
