General – Cable Repair
DOF has announced an investment in a first-of-its-kind, modular cable repair spread designed to transform how offshore wind operators respond to cable faults.
Uniquely engineered for compatibility across our fleet, the system offers an industry-first combination of fleet-wide flexibility, road transportability, and rapid deployment capabilities.
Developed in collaboration with engineering specialists, Royal IHC, the spread allows for mobilisation and commissioning within 48 hours, using just 12 lifting operations.
“This is a genuine step change in how the industry can respond to cable fault downtime,” said Dag Raymond Rasch, Executive Vice President DOF Atlantic.
The new system includes a compact quadrant handler, tensioner, roller tables, and over-boarding chute – all designed for plug-and-play operation. Its minimal footprint improves deck efficiency while maintaining cable integrity through all lay and recovery modes.
