Njord Survey AB

In May 2026, Swedish offshore survey firm Njord Survey secured a long-term contract running from 2026 to 2030 to support asset-integrity and environmental-compliance monitoring on the operational Greenlink interconnector — the 500 MW subsea and underground electricity link between Ireland's Great Island substation in County Wexford (EirGrid) and Great Britain's Pembroke substation in Pembrokeshire (National Grid / NESO), which entered commercial operation in February 2025. The agreement covers recurring geophysical and environmental marine surveys along the cable route, including assessment of cable burial conditions, monitoring of seabed changes, and verification of the integrity of protective measures installed along the route. Philip Ljungström, project director at Njord Survey, described the programme as combining geophysical and environmental disciplines across a complex offshore corridor over several years. Njord Survey plans to apply its structured project-execution model, HSEQ processes, and close coordination between offshore and onshore teams to deliver consistent, high-quality data for both asset-integrity and environmental-compliance purposes. This is an operations-and-maintenance-phase contract rather than a construction-phase appointment — it follows the construction-period survey work already in the DB (categories: environmental + geophysical + UXO + geotechnical + vessel_services).
