nkt cables also will be responsible for cable laying and installation.
“With a diameter of 260 mm and a capacity of 400 MW it is believed to be the largest AC submarine cable in the world, which is a clear proof of trust in nkt cables’ capabilities in submarine cables”, says Dion Metzemaekers, CEO at
