The barge with the submarine cable pulled over Skötufjörður
The employees of Sjótækni worked on laying a submarine cable over Skötufjörður in Ísafjarðardjúp for Orkubú Vestfjarðar in the beginning of July. The submarine cable replaces an older cable and thus increases electricity security. When laying the submarine cable, a barge owned by Sjótækni was used which is well suited for the equipment that needs to be used to lay submarine cables. The barge was towed by the boat Kafari in addition to which the boat Haukur assisted with the installation as both boats are owned by Sjótækni.
In addition to divers and other employees of Sjótækni, Orkubús' employees worked on laying the cable.
