CRP Subsea has secured a contract with Jan De Nul to supply cable protection systems for Vattenfall’s Nordlicht I offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, the company said.
Under the agreement, CRP Subsea will deliver 141 NjordGuard cable protection systems designed to safeguard inter-array cables during both installation and long-term operation. The systems are intended to protect cable integrity at critical connection points within the offshore wind installation.
Jan De Nul said three variations of the NjordGuard system will be engineered specifically for monopile and J-tube interfaces at the site, adapting to different structural requirements across the wind farm infrastructure.
Production of the systems will take place at CRP Subsea’s manufacturing facility in the North West of England, with deliveries scheduled for completion by December 2026.
The Nordlicht I offshore wind project, developed by Vattenfall, is expected to have an installed capacity of 980 megawatts and is targeted to become operational in 2028, contributing to Germany’s renewable energy expansion in the North Sea.
“We are proud to partner with Jan De Nul on the Nordlicht I wind farm project,” said Andy Smith, head of sales at CRP Subsea. “Our tailored designs for both monopile and J-tube interfaces ensure the cables are protected throughout installation and operational life, helping them achieve efficient and secure offshore operations.”
