Installation of the Isles of Scilly mainland link cable system was completed by March 1989, following the laying of a 33 kV, 55 km submarine cable manufactured by Pirelli General and installed by Balfour Kilpatrick’s converted cargo ship Star Hercules between Whitesands Bay in Cornwall and Porthcressa Bay on St Mary’s, as well as associated 33 kV land cable on St Mary’s and overhead line works on the Cornish mainland.
