Cable work expansion in Dutch Wadden Sea

The Dutch independent maritime service provider and Liander recently concluded a long term contract for the maintenance of all active cables and pipelines on the Dutch Wadden Sea.

Acta Marine’s specialized cable and pipeline vessel Coastal Digger will be based there for the remedial lowering of these cables and pipelines. The Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea are registered on UNESCO World Heritage List, with the area characterized by extensive tidal mud flats, deeper tidal trenches (tidal creeks) and islands contained within.

Acta Marine has worked with Liander for many years on various maritime support activities on the Dutch Wadden Sea. Various other specialized vessels from the company are active in the remedial burial of export cables for the renewable energy market. Acta Marine specialises in coastal and shallow draft projects, with a large number of vessels working with an operating draft of less than 2m.
