Work Description
Cable installation will be completed by M/V Elektron, assisted by the dive support vessel Forth Warrior and support craft Celtic Trader, Celtic Voyager, Celtic Nomad and Celtic Guardian. Cable Laying operations will be conducted on a 24 hour basis.
Other vessels should maintain an appropriate safe distance of 500m when passing the vessels whilst operational, and should pass at the lowest possible speed to avoid vessel wash effects. Vessels will be working throughout 24 hours and will display appropriate day shapes and lights during reduced visibility and night operations.
