Minesto AB (publ) successfully completed the first phase of Dragon 12 (1.2 MW) offshore installation in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands. The 3.4 km main subsea cable was laid on the seabed, from the onshore grid connection point to the
offshore installation node. After transit across the North Atlantic Ocean to Vestmanna, the cable installation work was commenced and was successfully completed today. The cable installation was completed in a 22-hour operation.
A standard offshore supply vessel was adapted by Minesto's subcontractor Inyanga for the cable laying to provide a cost-efficient vessel solution for the marine operations. The cable was manufactured by JDR in the UK and loaded onto the installation vessel in Hartlepool prior to transiting to the Faroe Islands.
