Inter-array cable installation for the Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm started on 8 June 2015, when CT Offshore laid the first inter-array cable at DONG Energy’s Gode Wind 1 and 2 sites. Working from the cable laying vessel SIA, the crew installed the J01-I02 cable after waiting for suitable weather conditions. CT Offshore deployed its new trencher ROV, the CTO 107-1100, which operates at depths up to 100 metres with an option to 1,500 metres, to trench and protect the cable on the seabed. The Gode Wind project will comprise 97 Siemens 6 MW turbines installed about 45 km from the mainland and roughly 33 km from Juist and Norderney, with the inter-array cabling linking turbines to the offshore substations for Gode Wind 1 and 2.
