Description
VBMS, the strategic cable-laying joint venture of Boskalis and VolkerWessels, received two contracts from Galloper Wind Farm Ltd., including responsibility for the export cabling whose assets now constitute the Galloper OFTO. For the OFTO scope, VBMS was contracted to install two approximately 45 km subsea export cables connecting the offshore wind farm to the mainland, executed in consortium with a cable manufacturing partner. In parallel, VBMS also handled supply and installation of 56 inter-array cables for the generation side of the project. The combined value of the export and inter-array cabling contracts to VBMS was about EUR 200 million, with installation of the first export cable scheduled for 2016 and the second export and inter-array cables in 2017.
