Maersk Connector, the cable lay vessel (CLV), has been engaged to continue operations on behalf of Seaway7 until 31st December 2025. This follows a successful first year of working on Seaway7’s projects in both Taiwan and the United Kingdom, Maersk said in a media release.
The vessel first commenced cable-laying provision for Seaway7 in October 2021, initially working in the North Sea at the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm project. On completion, the vessel relocated to Taiwan to work on other Seaway7 projects, including the 640MW Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm.
