Walney 2 in Need of Messaging Capability

Fendercare Marine's recently established diving division has picked up its first major contract in the offshore renewables sector. The company was contracted by the Netherlands-based Visser & Smit Marine Contracting (VSMC) for a multi-million Euro sum, to insert a messenger cable into each of 51 wind turbines for Dong's Walney 2 development off the Barrow-in-Furness coast.  

 

 

The work has taken place over 85 days during the summer months and has involved the supply of a DPII vessel, a fitted Ampelmann personnel transfer system and ROVs to carry out the work.
