In 2009 WIND started the recovery of the 8,000 km long SAT1 cable which runs from South Africa to Portugal. Our mv Lida, specifically converted for this purpose, retrieves the cable from water depths of up to 7,000 meters.
WIND is ready and able to recover subsea cables in any place worldwide. We have mobile cable recovery units available that can be installed on any of our own or chartered vessels. Where necessary we convert our vessels to DP. We work according to ICPC (International Cable Protection Committee) standards and in close communication with owners of neighbouring cables.
Besides cable recovery WIND also offers route cleaning and pre-lay grapnel runs.
