In 2015, fifty-two nautical miles north-east of Doha, Qatar, crude oil from offshore oil fields was being processed on Halul island. To meet the present and future electrical power demand of the island two 132 kV submarine power cables between Ras Laffan and the island needed to be installed. Jan De Nul Group was appointed as cable installation contractor. With a complete length of two times 100 km, and a total of 58 crossing alongside the route, this was an extremely challenging work. As the cables weighted up to 70 kg/m, the cables were installed in sections of 50 km. Next to the complete cable installation with CLV Willem de Vlamingh, the scope included touchdown ROV monitoring and shore end pulls in Ras Laffan and Halul Island.
