Leask Marine delivers Second Pre-Lay Grapnel Run project for Enshore on Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm

Published on May 8 2026

Leask Marine’s MV C-Horizon have supported Enshore and the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm by managing and executing a second Pre-Lay Grapnel Run (PLGR) campaign ahead of the installation of two export cables to the wind farm array.

The C-Horizon carried out over 80 kilometres of PLGR to ensure the seabed is completely clear of obstructions before future cable-laying operations. The PLGR route is pre-programmed into the vessel’s survey and navigation systems to enable precise execution.

Leask Marine deployed one of their grapnel trains comprising a flatfish grapnel, rennie grapnel, gifford grapnel, spearpoint grapnel, and Stingray Acoustic Tow Line Positioning Grapnel integrated with a transponder USBL tracking system.
