Using its cable-laying vessel BoDo Installer, the company loaded the array and export cables in Nordenham, Germany, transported them to the Kentish Flats Extension site in the Thames Estuary and laid them offshore. BoDo Installer also undertook the export cable installation at the foreshore landfall near Hampton Pier, coordinating with beach-based civil works and a Vattenfall project team onshore.
