Joint Venture for Offshore Inter-Array Cables
DeepOcean and TFKable Group establish a joint venture to provide integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation services for offshore wind inter-array cable systems.

The expanding scale of offshore wind energy installations requires tighter integration between subsea cable manufacturing and marine execution. DeepOcean and the controlling entity of TFKable Group—comprising Tele-Fonika Kable, JDR Cable Systems, and associated entities have agreed to form a joint venture focused on end-to-end engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) services. This collaboration addresses interface fragmentation in offshore supply chains by aligning cable production with specialized marine deployment operations.
Technical Solution and Responsibilities
The cooperative framework integrates subsea power cable production with marine engineering and seabed intervention services.
- TFKable Group: Contributes manufacturing expertise for high-voltage subsea cable systems, backed by ongoing production technology upgrades at facilities in Poland and the United Kingdom.
- DeepOcean: Supplies offshore engineering, route surveying, trenching, installation, and cable protection capabilities.
The joint venture covers the complete project lifecycle, encompassing seabed mapping, route engineering, cable manufacturing, transport, burial, and protection. As part of a multi-year development program with milestones extending through 2029, the partners are progressing plans to construct and operate a dedicated, purpose-built cable-laying vessel. This vessel is planned to be held by a separate owning entity comprising DeepOcean, TFKable Group, and Poland’s state-owned industrial development agency, Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu.
Deployment and Operational Impact
The integrated service model targets offshore wind farm developments, aiming to streamline execution for complex inter-array cable networks.
By combining manufacturing logistics directly with marine installation assets, the partnership intends to minimize interface risks, improve schedule predictability, and reduce technical friction points between separate contractors. Execution of the multi-year program will see capabilities introduced progressively. Final establishment of the joint venture remains contingent upon regulatory approvals from relevant competition authorities and the completion of customary closing conditions.
