VBMS Installs Its 1000th Inter-Array Cable at Sandbank

VBMS has reached a major milestone by installing its 1,000th inter-array cable during its works for Vattenfall’s Sandbank offshore wind farm this week.

In 2008, when the company was founded, VBMS installed its first inter array cables in Belgian waters for Thornton Bank Phase I.

Through the years, VBMS has been contracted for a number of large European offshore wind projects such as Walney I & II, Horns Rev, Anholt, DanTysk, Meerwind, Nordsee Ost, as well as the London Array for which the company connected 175 turbines.

Arno van Poppel, Managing Director of VBMS said: “We are very proud of the fact that we have reached this milestone. It’s a great token of our footprint in the European offshore wind industry. With the recently signed contracts for Walney Extension and Galloper Offshore Wind Farms, our track record consistently keeps growing.”
