Tekmar to Protect Merkur OWF Cables

Tekmar Energy has recently been awarded a contract with Tideway B.V to supply 150 of its patented TekLink cable protection systems (CPS) on the Merkur offshore wind farm project in Germany.

Tekmar’s new production facility in the North East of England will supply the CPS and manufacturing is expected to be completed early next year.

The offshore installation is planned to start in 2017, the company informed.

James Ritchie, CEO at Tekmar said, “We are extremely pleased Tideway have selected to use the TekLink cable protection system for this project and it further demonstrates their confidence in our product and team. This project will be utilizing the 7th generation CPS which has recently been harmonized to accelerate offshore installation works and approved by DNV.”
