Seaway Offshore Cables, the European submarine cable installation company, has been hired by Orsted to supply and install the inter-array cables at the 12MW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project, on track to become one of the first completed US offshore wind projects.
Seaway, owned by UK-based offshore energy contractor Subsea 7, will immediately begin engineering work for the Virginia project, located 43km off the US east coast, and plans to install the offshore cables in 2020 – the same year the project is due for completion.
