Energinet.dk A/S has planned a reinforcement of the 150 kV electricity transmission grid in the southern and central part of Denmark known as the project named JFK.

It has now been determined who will receive Lemvig / Good Life Award 2016. It is the man behind the Memorial Park and Sea War Museum in Thyborøn, Gert Normann Andersen, as decided by an unanimous Award Committee. The Award have existed since 1984, and together with the Award itself the winner receives 10,000 Danish kroner from the Nordea Foundation, which is donated to a charity of the Award winners choice. Gert Normann Andersen will be handed the Award at an event later this year on Sea War Museum.
 

Energinet.dk A/S had projected a plan for reinforcement of the 150 kV electricity transmission grid in the northern part of Denmark. As a part of the plan two submarine cable installations were included - across Nees Sund of approx. 1.2 km and across Salling Sund of approx. 2.6 km. The two submarine cable crossings are located in Limfjorden, respectively west and east of the Island of Mors.

Energinet.dk awarded JD-Contractor A/S the contract for the transport and laying of the submarine cables as well as the protection of the cables.

A devastating collision hit the Wavepiston in 2015.

After it was rebuild our Vessel M/S Cable One was contracted in August 2016 to assist with the reinstallation. 

On the 22nd of June JD-Contractor A/S completed the burial of the entire length of the 33 km Horns Rev 3 Export Cable. From the beach 1.5 km North of Henne Strand to the offshore transformer platform at Horns Rev. The total burial campaign was completed in just 12 days - 9 days of operation and 3 days of standby, waiting on weather.

JD-Contractor continuously work with our suppliers to develop new solutions to improve the handling of cable’s and pipelines.
PKJ recently tested their new innovative Flex Track System at our facilities in Kalundborg.

On the 13th of June, JD-Contractor A/S completed the pull-in of the Horns Rev 3 export cable. This was the third time JD-Contractor successfully pulled in an export cable from an offshore transformer platform that collects power from an offshore wind farm at Horns Rev.
 

New floating dock in place in Thyborøn. It was a case of the mouse leading the elephant when the largest dock on the west coast and the third largest in Denmark was connected in the port of Thyborøn with assistance by JD-Contractors small tugboat Naja on the 13th of April 2016.
The name “Thyborøn Shipyard” is now newly painted onto the side of the large floating dock. The company Thyborøn Slipway last summer bought it from the now closed Götaverken in Gothenburg.

The dock may take ships of up to 6,000 tons and up to just over 140 metres in length and 25 metres wide.
This gives Thyborøn Denmark's third largest docking capacity after Fayard in Munkebo and Orskov in Frederikshavn.
JD-Contractor is pleased to have made a small contribution to the beginning of this exciting new project and wish Thyborøn Shipyard good speed for the future.
