Subsea7 announced that Seaway7, a division of the Subsea7 Group, has been awarded a substantial contract by Ørsted for the transport and installation of inter-array cables for the Hornsea 3 offshore wind project in the UK North Sea sector.

The contract includes the transportation and installation of 192 inter-array cables at 66kV, spanning roughly 500 kilometers. Offshore operations are set to begin in 2026.

The award adds to our backlog and leading position in the UK, Europe’s largest offshore wind market.
