KNOWLEDGE IS POWER IN THE OFFSHORE WIND CABLE MARKET


When it comes to installing and maintaining subsea power cables, UK-headquartered Global Marine Systems can call upon experience and knowledge from a wide variety of successfully completed projects in all corners of the globe. Not only has the company conducted operations at 18 offshore windfarms in European waters, with its 19th planned this summer, the company has a power cable track record that dates back to the late 1980’s.


During the intervening period, the company has installed an inter-connector cable between Finland and Estonia, in Asia, whilst completing the Pulau Ketam system achieving a record breaking burial depth of 13.8m. Most recently they connected Margarita Island to the Venezuelan mainland.


RESPONDING TO SPECIFIC NEEDS


The company’s capabilities in engineering and project management means that it can adapt to the specific needs of each contract, whether the requirement is AC or DC, deep water or shallow. The range of services available is comprehensive and includes DTS (Desk Top Study), permitting, route surveys, route engineering, project engineering, installation and ongoing maintenance provision. The combination of services, skill and experience has made Global Marine Systems a trusted supplier known to deliver the most complex of projects.


WIND INDUSTRY BACKGROUND


The company has been involved in the installation of power cables for the offshore wind sector since the conception of the industry. In fact, the company installed cables for the UK’s first commercial windfarm at Kentish Flats, as well as Europe’s first at Horns Rev, Denmark. Coming right up to date, the company is about to embark on an inter-array project at the Wikinger offshore windfarm in the Baltic Sea. The installation will be performed by C.S. Sovereign a versatile offshore vessel that has to date installed 17% of inter array cables globally.


COMMITMENT


Global Marine Systems’ commitment to the offshore wind sector has been demonstrated further by the acquisition of CWind, the offshore renewable specialist. CWind delivers both construction and operations & maintenance services to the sector and has operated at 26 windfarms in the North Sea, Irish Sea and Baltic Sea, and works today, for leading wind turbine manufacturers and windfarm owners. The collaborative offering targets the developing needs of customers in the offshore renewables market.
