Evidence from SEAS-NVE-related sources indicates that the submarine cable replacement programme in Smålandsfarvandet, which includes the Askø–Lilleø link, began in early autumn 2014. A 1 September 2014 news release from Vikingeskibsmuseet, issued in cooperation with SEAS-NVE, states that SEAS-NVE is "netop nu i gang med at udskifte søkablet til Askø" and that the cables connecting Lolland–Askø, Askø–Lilleø and Lilleø–Femø, all over 40 years old, are to be replaced around that time. This aligns with local coordination updates showing preparation and planning for laying new sea cables between Lolland–Askø, Askø–Lilleø and Lilleø–Femø in mid‑2014. On this basis, the start of cable installation for the Askø–Lilleø link is placed in October 2014 with month‑level precision.
