The on-board doctor called for help who, despite the worker's not very serious conditions, however preferred to have him treated ashore. The patient was picked up by a patrol boat of the Italian Coastguard due to appendicitis and taken to port. The man was transported to the Galliera hospital for checks.

Global Marine Group secures cable contract for Rampion Offshore Wind Farm

Global Marine Group (GMG), a leading provider of offshore engineering services to the renewables, telecommunications and oil & gas industries, announced that it has been awarded a contract from E.ON, an international, privately-owned energy supplier focused on renewables, energy networks and customer solutions, to install a fibre optic cable at the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, under construction 13km off the coast of Sussex, UK. Upon completion the cable will run from the shore to an offshore substation, providing a vital communications link for this major wind farm. The installation is expected to be completed later this month. CWind, which is part of the GMG and is responsible for delivering the Company’s power capabilities, will execute the contract and will utilise the Group’s capable assets and project engineering team. The installation will centre on a 96-fibre armoured cable supplied from Hexatronic, installed by the CS RECORDER using the proven Hi-Plough to ensure appropriate cable protection in the hard chalk seabed.
