NKT has entered into service agreements with Elia, 50Hertz and Nemo Link for the power grids in Germany, the UK and Belgium. With the agreements, NKT and the three grid operators join forces to ensure minimum downtime in case of unpredicted damages to the assets included.

Within the scope of the agreements with Elia and 50Hertz, NKT will ensure offshore repair preparedness, including inspection and maintenance of spare parts, vessel support for fault localisation, offshore cable handling, offshore cable jointing work as well as engineering.
