    The Gjøa project combined innovative development with rigorous engineering in an environment that leaves no space for error or mistakes. It represents the first ever connection of a power cable to a floating platform. The project brought together knowledge and skills from two industries that are normally largely separate: the oil and gas industry and the high voltage cable industry. The resulting product is an energy supply reducing overall carbon dioxide emissions.
