Inch Cape's export cable supply contract was confirmed at financial close on 27 January 2025. Ningbo Orient Cable was selected to fabricate the two 85 km, 220 kV three-phase AC offshore export cables, with the cables manufactured in China and delivered to the Port of Blyth for installation. Enshore Subsea was contracted as the export cable installation contractor, using the CMOS Installer cable lay vessel. The first export cable arrived in the UK at Blyth in June 2025 and was installed in three approximately 28 km sections during summer/autumn 2025. TKF and N-Sea were appointed for inter-array cable fabrication and installation under an EPCI contract.
