Ørsted completes 150km of Baltica cable trenching

Posted on 18 February 2026

Ørsted has completed 150km of trenching for inter-array cables at the 1500MW Baltica 2 offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea.

Ørsted said the vessel BOKA Falcon, owned by Boskalis, carried out the first stage of seabed preparation to create routes connecting the project’s wind turbines.

The next phase will involve trenching 260km of export cable routes ahead of installation by cable-laying vessels Ndurance and Boka Ocean, according to the developer.

Ulrik Ankerstjerne Lange, vice president and managing director of Baltica 2 at Ørsted, said: “Completing works on the inter-array cable routes means we are closing a key stage of seabed preparation for the connections between turbines. The quality of trenching and corridor preparation directly affects installation safety and the protection of the cables once they are laid. We are now focusing on the next offshore work package, maintaining the pace and sequence of activities in line with the project schedule”.

Baltica 2 is being developed by Ørsted in partnership with PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and is currently the largest offshore wind project under construction in Poland.
