Last month, the Morocco-UK Power project hit headlines again as Xlinks reportedly began preparing to commission the “world’s biggest” cable-laying vessel.

Current News sat down with Alan Mathers, business operations director and Alex Gorrie, project manager at XLCC to discuss building the “world’s largest” cable-laying vessel and learn more about the process of installing interconnector cables.
