Norwegian offshore services player Reach Subsea has struck a deal with Danish cabling firm NKT for the supply of subsea cable survey services.
The Oslo-listed Reach has ramped up its capacity significantly over the last couple of years to serve a rapidly growing renewables market with a broadened service offering.
Meanwhile, similar to other cabling specialists, NKT has made several investment moves in its fleet and production sites on the back of a strong order intake and a record order backlog.
The duo has for many years collaborated on survey support for cable installation projects.
“This new contract is a result of this relationship and will put Reach Subsea in a position to supply additional marine services along with Reach Subsea’s modern fleet of vessels and ROVs, including Reach Remote, for NKT’s service projects,” the company said.
Last year, the Wilhelmsen-backed Reach ordered the first two in a series of unmanned offshore surface vessels (USVs) named Reach Remote at Kongsberg Maritime. The USVs will serve as mobile power banks, data centres and communication modules for ROVs, both of which will be operated from an onshore control centre.
