Projects : Fiber Optic Cables : Kattegat 2 & 3 Fibre Optic Cable Project
Five Oceans Services was also commissioned by Tele Danmark to install a Fibre Optic Link between Moesgård and Tengslemark. The execution of the project took place in November 2000.
Both projects were carried out using the CLV Sea Spider and the TROV Smartjet 1150 as the trenching tool. The achieved trenching depth was 1 meter.
