Description
Baltic Offshore Kalmar AB, a Swedish submarine cable specialist, served as subcontractor to Connecto Infra AS for the 2025 replacement of the Soela Strait 35 kV inter-island link between Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. Working in cooperation with Connecto Infra, Baltic Offshore Kalmar provided expertise and marine resources for the offshore phases, including laying the new 6 km 35 kV submarine cable along the prepared route on the seabed and supporting the staged removal and disposal of the two obsolete oil‑impregnated cables. The company’s role covered marine installation, handling and positioning of the continuous cable length delivered to site on a dedicated cable‑lay vessel, contributing to the commissioning of the renewed Pammana–Emmaste connection.
