Helix Energy Solutions Group (HLX - Free Report) has announced that its robotics unit, Helix Robotics Solutions, has secured a contract from Seaway7, a part of Subsea7 (SUBCY - Free Report) , for the burial of inter-array cables for an offshore wind farm.

The project management, along with engineering and survey support, will be handled by Helix’s offices in Aberdeen, UK.
For this project, Helix plans to deploy the Grand Canyon III trenching support vessel.
