Handling

Storage

WIND has specialist teams of cable crew and cable transfer equipment
available. Due to our flexibility we are mostly able to mobilise on very short
notice. Try us! Our teams include supervisors, equipment operators and
coilers. We can also take care of the entire cable transfer operation, including
preparation of load-out documents, risk assessments and method statements.

Through our daughter company OceanWind we offer our clients the

possibility to store subsea cable in a central depot in Velsen, The
Netherlands.
OceanWind stores spare cable for both short and long term. Its clients are
particularly those that are active in the offshore renewable energy sector on
the North Sea. Due to the favourable location of its base immediately behind
the locks of IJmuiden and the direct availability of specialised manpower and
equipment OceanWind is able to provide its clients with a rapid and efficient
service.

Transport

Recovery

Through our large network of acquainted ship owners we are always able to
provide the right vessel, at the right time and location. Conversion of a vessel
and fitting it out with specialist equipment so that the vessel is suitable for a
specific project often plays an important role in our projects.

In 2008, WIND joined forces with its client Mertech Marine to convert one of
the vessels in WIND's fleet (the mv Lida) for the purpose of recovering out-o-service subsea cable from the seabed. One of the Lidas first projects
involved the recovery of the 8,000 kilometre SAT-1 communications cable,
which had been laid between Portugal and South Africa in the mid-1960s.

We conceive and engineer the best solutions in-house and send out our team
of welding foremen, constructors and project engineers to rig a vessel in any
port worldwide. Equipment is either sourced locally or dispatched from our
depot by air or sea. This flexibility limits vessel deviation and ensures
maximum cost efficiency.

The use of a relatively small converted cargo vessel with specialist crews for
the recovery works made the recovery not only cost-efficient but also
increased the environmental benefit of the project. The successful completion
of the recovery of the SAT-1 cable was a significant achievement which
represented a milestone that has changed the industry.
