Wind Energy – Sofia OWF
Van Oord has completed the laying, burial, termination and testing of 109 array cables at the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm.
The Sofia project marked the first operational deployment of cable-laying vessel Calypso.
Purpose-built to install cables for offshore wind projects worldwide, Calypso features the latest sustainable technologies and delivered a strong performance throughout its debut.
Upon completion of its activities on Sofia, Calypso has immediately commenced for its next assignment.
Following the cable-laying operations, the state-of-the-art Dig-It trencher, deployed from the Subsea Viking, ensured precise and efficient burial of more than 360 kilometres of cables. The ultimate cable termination and testing works were executed from several walk-to-work vessels by our experienced tower teams.
