VBMS awarded inter-array cabling contract for Albatros OWF

The contract includes the supply, installation and burial as well as termination and testing of nineteen (19) 33kV inter-array cables. The cable installation activities are scheduled for 2019, following the installation of seventy nine (79) inter-array cables for the nearby 497MW EnBW Hohe See offshore wind farm. Part of the Albatros scope for VBMS is to interconnect both wind farms.

The 11-square-kilometre Albatros offshore wind farm is located in the so-called ‘exclusive economic zone’ of the German North Sea, adjacent to EnBW’s Hohe See offshore wind farm.
