Global Marine was contracted by Allseas for the marine installation works for the Breagh ‘A’ Development Fibre Optic Cable Installation.

The cable system provides capacity for the Breagh ‘A’ platform, which incorporates approximately 102km of fibre optic cable which was installed from Coatham Sands, Teesside to the Breagh ‘A’ Platform. 38.5km of which was buried, providing appropriate cable protection for the prevailing seabed conditions.

The project took place between August 2011 and October 2011 with the final ‘pull in’ to the platform conducted in 2012 by C.S. Sovereign.
