Do you need cable transport solutions too? Don’t worry – we can handle that as well. Via our large network of ship-owners, we will always be able to provide your project with the right vessel, at the right time and the right place.
WIND also has a large amount of cable transfer equipment. Or we can source it locally – whatever is the optimum solution for your project. This flexibility minimises vessel deviation and ensures maximum cost efficiency.
Fitting out a vessel with the specialist equipment it needs for a specific project is one of the most important parts of project preparation. To get the job done safely and efficient, we conceive and engineer the best solutions in-house; sending out our team of welding foremen, constructors and project engineers to rig the vessel in any port worldwide.
Recovery
Recovery of out-of-service cables from the seabed is a key part of our business, one that currently focuses on the recovery of subsea communications cables. These activities yield major environmental benefits as recycling defunct cables re-introduces a huge amount of high quality metals and plastics back into the global supply chain.
We started cable recovery operations in 2008 after joining forces with cable recycling specialist Mertech Marine. The first project completed by our mv Lida, specially converted for the purpose, was that of the 8,000 km long SAT-1 communication cable. Today we have vessels recovering cables fulltime.
The added value of the fleet
Using a relatively small vessel with specialist crews for cable recovery works makes operations not only cost-efficient, but also increases the environmental benefit of the project. Recovered cables are recycled which reduces the use of natural resources.
