Vos Prodect supplies Cable Hang-off Systems in world’s largest offshore wind farm Dogger Bank

Vos Prodect is pleased to make a significant announcement: the first two phases of the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank A and B, will be installed with Vos Prodect’s Cable Hang-off systems. Dogger Bank, which is located between 130km and 190km from the Northeast coast of England, is an offshore wind farm being developed in three phases, Dogger Bank A, B, and C.

Collectively they will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm. With an installed capacity of 3.6GW, Dogger Bank will be able to supply 6 million households with wind energy. Dogger Bank Wind Farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Eni. One rotation of GE’s Haliade-X turbine, 277 of which will be supplied to Dogger Bank A, B, and C, can power a UK household for two days. Each turbine can provide enough clean energy to power 16,000 British households.

Statement CEO of Vos Prodect, Marc Derks: ‘’Vos Prodect is one of the leading companies in Europe with extensive experience and knowledge in designing cable installation accessories. With over 60 years of experience in the offshore business, Vos Prodect can be seen as one of the pioneers in the field of cable protection and cable accessories for the telecom, oil and gas electrification, and from this decade the wind turbine industry.’’

In September 2021, Hellenic Cables was awarded the Dogger Bank A and B inter-array cable contract by DEME Offshore. At the end of Q1 2022, Vos Prodect delivered the first batch of Cable Hang-off Systems for Dogger Bank A. The systems will be installed along with the submarine power cables of Hellenic Cables. Vos Prodect has closely collaborated with Hellenic Cables on the project requirements, in which Vos Prodect was able to apply its engineering skills.

Statement Eleftherios Laskaris Senior Project manager Hellenic cables: “Hellenic Cables long and successful cooperation with Vos Prodect in the engineering and procurement of Hang-off Systems has established a robust and trustful partnership. Building upon this relationship Hellenic Cables has entrusted Vos Prodect with the Hang-off scope for such an extensive and prominent Project as the Dogger Bank Wind Farm .”
