Description
Atlantic Marine carried out seabed preparation works along the Race Bank export cable route, supporting construction of the transmission assets that later became part of the Race Bank OFTO. Using its 70 m multipurpose vessel Atlantic Explorer, Atlantic Marine completed four months of boulder clearance along the offshore export cable corridor starting in October 2015. This work ensured a clear and suitable seabed for subsequent installation and burial of the high-voltage export cables by the main cable-lay contractor.
