Pharos Offshore Group has announced the expansion of its trenching fleet with the acquisition of UTV620, a 620hp jet trencher previously known as CT1. This state-of-the-art equipment, built by SMD, is designed for subsea cable and pipeline burial services. Following a series of upgrades and system enhancements, UTV620 is set to mobilize for its inaugural cable burial project under Pharos in December 2025. This project marks the beginning of what the company anticipates will be a busy and strategically important year in 2026.
