On 5 September 2023, offshore construction for the Sofia transmission system officially started with works to install essential subsea HVDC export cable infrastructure between the UK’s north‑east coast and the wind farm site on Dogger Bank. Prysmian’s cable‑laying vessel Leonardo da Vinci was mobilised from the Port of Middlesbrough to begin this three‑year offshore construction phase for the Sofia OFTO export link.
