Winds of Change Drive Marine Cable Alliance
01 Jun 2005
Global Marine has already expanded its operations from telecommunications to also include the marine renewables market and is an established installer of the inter-turbine and shore connection cabling for offshore wind farms. SMIT Heavy Lift, a division of Holland's SMIT International, brings more than 160 years of marine construction experience.
The combination of Global Marine's cable installation and burial skills allied to SMIT's extensive vessel fleet and offshore experience creates a significant package for offshore renewable energy operators.
Global Marine claims to have installed more than half the world's buried fibre optic cables and to undertake up to 40% of all subsea cable repair and maintenance. In the renewable energy sector it has worked on the world's largest offshore wind farm, Horns Rev off Denmark, as well as the Blyth and Kentish Flats projects in the UK.
