GECO and Jan De Nul sign MoU on Black Sea subsea cable

Strengthening the Green Energy Corridor with Jan De Nul Group
Today GECO's General Director Yusif Gayibov visited the head office of Jan De Nul Group, a world leader in offshore energy infrastructure and subsea cable installation. During the visit, Green Energy Corridor Company (GECO) and Jan De Nul's owner Mr. Jan Peter De Nul signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
The MoU sets the framework for cooperation on the subsea part of the Green Energy Corridor (GEC) Project, which will carry renewable electricity from the Caspian region and Georgia across the Black Sea to Europe. Jan De Nul's experience with long-distance subsea cables makes them a valuable partner as we move the project forward.
He also had the opportunity to visit Isaac Newton, one of Jan De Nul's flagship cable-laying vessels. She can carry and install up to 10,700 tons of cable in a single trip, and clients in the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, and Iceland have all counted on her to bring renewable energy to land. Seeing this level of engineering up close showed what it will take to make the Green Energy Corridor a reality.
I'm grateful to the Jan De Nul team for their warm hospitality and productive discussions. I look forward to working together to connect Azerbaijan and Georgia's renewable energy potential with European markets.
