Installation of the bundled pair of 320 kV HVDC submarine cables and the associated fibre‑optic cable for the Shetland HVDC Link was scheduled to start in Q2 2022, to be carried out by NKT’s cable‑laying vessel NKT VICTORIA in three offshore campaigns during 2022–2023; by 11 October 2022 SSEN had notified mariners that HVDC cable had already been laid on part of the route from Caithness to east of Orkney, confirming that offshore cable installation was underway.
