Bridging the cable gap: tackling offshore wind’s infrastructure pressure image

From high-voltage jointing to fibre-optic testing, the demands on offshore cabling have never been greater. As developers face tighter timelines and deeper technical challenges, Onken Offshore Contractors outlines how evolving delivery models and skilled integrated teams are helping the industry adapt.

Onken Offshore Contractors GmbH has spent the past year expanding its capacity and refining its operations to meet the increasing demands of the offshore wind sector.
