General – Subsea Power Cables
DOF Group announced that it has been awarded a contract by Statnett, Norway’s transmission system operator, for the replacement of high-voltage subsea power cables across Ofotfjorden in the north of Norway.
The project comprises partial removal of ageing subsea power cables between Lødingen and Barøya, and the installation of four new 170kV submarine cables bundled with fibre optic lines.
The campaign includes bundled cable laying in water depths ranging from 10m to 450m.
Main execution is planned between May and September 2027 totalling approximately 40 days from a high-capacity construction vessel in DOF’s fleet, supported by preparatory survey, logistics and onshore works throughout 2026 and 2027.
