Cable Installation, Loch Linnhe, Loch A'Choire July - October 2025

Briggs Marine Contractors (on behalf of SHEPD) will be installing two new subsea cables in Southern Loch Linnhe, by Loch A'Choire from 3 July to 2 October 2025.

Ahead of subsea cable installation operations, shore end plant and equipment will be delivered to the southern landfall via landing craft. Pre-installation activities will involve placement of mattress protection and Pre-Lay Grapnel Runs (PLGR) to clear any debris, carried out across the cable installation route. 

Should any vessel wish to come within 500m of the vessels, then direct communication with the Master / Operator is required. Vessels will display the appropriate lights/day shapes for their operations.
