Home Subsea Scotland future-proofs subsea network rollout with long-term HVDC agreement July 9, 2026, by Scottish transmission system operator (TSO) SSEN Transmission has signed a long-term framework agreement with Sumitomo Electric Industries and Van Oord Offshore Wind UK for the engineering, supply, transport and installation of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cable systems to support future subsea network delivery

“Through this Framework Agreement, we look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with SSE Group in the HVDC sector and supporting Scotland’s and the UK’s transition to a secure, resilient and low-carbon energy system

Nearshore works will focus on pre-lay surveys from the tunnel exit, extending several kilometres offshore, along with installation monitoring as the pipeline is pulled out to sea to confirm it is being laid as designed and to identify any unexpected seabed changes early. Further offshore, the company will provide surveys, installation support and verification along the pipeline route, including at third-party pipeline and cable crossings

Home Subsea Fugro to assist Saipem with pipeline work at UK’s first offshore CCS project July 9, 2026, by Dutch Fugro has been selected to deliver integrated marine survey and inspection services for Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), the UK’s first offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) project

Fugro will perform nearshore and offshore survey and inspection operations to support pipeline installation, from landfall through to connection with existing offshore infrastructure. Nearshore works will focus on pre-lay surveys from the tunnel exit, extending several kilometres offshore, along with installation monitoring as the pipeline is pulled out to sea to confirm it is being laid as designed and to identify any unexpected seabed changes early

The tool will be deployed on the company’s cable-laying vessels (CLVs) Monna Lisa and Alessandro Volta. “With accuracy, precision and efficiency, the tool enhances our ability to tackle increasingly challenging seabed conditions and achieve cable burial depths of up to five meters, depending on seabed characteristics,” said Peter Watson, Middlesbrough Marine base & Offshore Subsea Assets at Prysmian

Home Subsea Prysmian’s arsenal richer for its ‘most powerful’ heavy-duty plough yet July 9, 2026, by Italian cabling giant Prysmian has put into operation a new, latest-generation heavy-duty plough developed by the UK’s SMD, stating that it is its most powerful and largest so far. Source: Prysmian The plough is one of two that have been procured from SMD and will be used for burying power cables at a maximum of five meters beneath mean seabed level, Prysmian reported
