In mid-September VSMC completed
the first phase of laying infield cables
for the Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm.
VSMC started work on 3 rd August 2013,
and completed the installation of the
25 cables within a month and ahead of

continue as planned into 2014.
The Nordsee Ost wind farm consists of 48
