CRP Subsea secures Seaway7 offshore wind cable contract
Thursday, 28th May 2026
CRP Subsea, part of AIS, has been awarded a significant contract by Seaway7 to supply cable protection systems for the ScottishPower Renewables East Anglia TWO offshore wind project in the North Sea.
The agreement will see CRP Subsea deliver 142 NjordGuard cable protection systems designed to safeguard inter-array cables at each end of wind turbine generators. The systems are engineered to prevent over-bending, abrasion and fatigue during installation and throughout long-term operation, supporting advanced underwater engineering requirements in challenging offshore environments.
Three tailored NjordGuard configurations will be developed to accommodate both monopile foundations and J-tube interface requirements, ensuring compatibility across varying offshore installation conditions.
Engineering, Manufacturing and Project Delivery
CRP Subsea will manufacture the systems at its dedicated facility in the North West of England. The site features a semi-automated production line designed to significantly increase output capacity and support large-scale offshore energy and underwater engineering projects.
Engineering work will begin immediately, with final delivery scheduled for February 2027.
• 142 NjordGuard cable protection systems to be supplied for the East Anglia TWO project
• Designed to protect inter-array cables from abrasion, fatigue and over-bending
• Three bespoke designs developed for monopile and J-tube interfaces
• Manufactured at CRP Subsea’s advanced UK production facility
• Project delivery planned for completion in February 2027
Offshore Wind Project Overview
East Anglia TWO forms part of the wider East Anglia Hub, which also includes East Anglia ONE North and East Anglia THREE. The development is located in the North Sea, approximately 46 km off the coast of Lowestoft and 113 km from the Netherlands.
The project will cover an area of 218 km² and is expected to feature up to 64 wind turbine generators, with a planned installed capacity of up to 960 MW.
NjordGuard Cable Protection Technology
NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed for offshore wind power applications, including turbine generators and offshore substations.
Manufactured using API-qualified materials, the system delivers high resistance to abrasion and bending stress. It is designed for straightforward installation onboard vessels and is compatible with both monopile and J-tube interfaces.
Its use of API 17L-certified Uraduct® material enhances seabed wear resistance, helping to reduce the need for additional rock protection and supporting reliable underwater engineering performance over the asset lifecycle.
