On 15 August 2016, Dutch contractor VBMS, using the cable-laying vessel Stemat Spirit, completed laying the 27 km Normandie 1 (N1) subsea power cable from Surville in Normandy to Jersey, offloading the cable in St Catherine’s Bay. The crew marked the cable with buoys, and VBMS cut and positioned it with around 60 metres spare ready for connection to the Archirondel substation switchgear by Prysmian jointers, marking the completion of the main subsea cable installation for the interconnector.
