The scope of work involves the construction of the export cables and array cables for the Galloper offshore wind farm.

Additionally VBMS has acquired the contract for the supply and installation of 56 array cables between the wind turbines. The installation of the first export cable is expected in 2016, followed by the installation of the second export cable and the power cables between the wind turbines in 2017.

VBMS CEO Arno van Poppel: "We are pleased this contract Galloper Wind Farm Ltd. to have gotten. Our vast experience with similar projects, such as Nordsee Ost for our clients RWE Innogy, enables us to utilize our technology and expertise to fully implement these projects successfully. "

The Galloper project which will be located close to its existing sister project Greater Gabbard off the Suffolk coast, was awarded development rights by The Crown Estate in May 2010 and will commence operations by March 2018.
