Boskalis has resumed identification and clearance work for unexploded ordnance off the coast of Zeebrugge, Belgium, after completing a first campaign season.

The work supports the safe installation of submarine cables for the Modular Offshore Grid 2 project, which will connect Princess Elisabeth Island. Boskalis said the campaign is being carried out with the multirole vessel Manu-Pekka and a dedicated UXO offshore support vessel.

In the coming months, the company will investigate hundreds of additional seabed targets near the coast and farther offshore along the 55 km cable route. The operations form part of preparations for cable installation linked to the MOG2 project.

Boskalis said the resumed campaign continues its work on a renewable energy project associated with the development of what it described as the world’s first artificial energy island.
