DeepOcean and the controlling entity of TFKable Group have agreed to establish a joint venture focused on integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation services for offshore wind inter-array cable projects.
The planned venture will combine TFKable Group’s subsea cable manufacturing capabilities with DeepOcean’s offshore engineering, installation and seabed intervention services.
Its proposed scope includes seabed mapping, route surveys, engineering, cable production and transportation, trenching, installation and cable protection.
The parties also plan to introduce a dedicated newbuild cable-laying vessel. The vessel would be owned by a separate entity involving Poland’s state-owned industrial development agency ARP, DeepOcean and the controlling entity of TFKable Group.
The cooperation is structured as a multi-year development programme, with capabilities expected to be introduced in stages and development milestones planned through 2029.
The joint venture will initially focus on inter-array cable systems. Its establishment and operation remain subject to relevant competition authority approvals and customary closing requirements.
