Prysmian Group has awarded Assodivers Group for the supply and installation of buoys works included in Lot A. More specifically, the work concerns the installation of four (4) buoys at Lavrio landing to indicate the presence of the cable due to the existence of an anchoring/mooring area in the vicinity of the cable path, in order to prevent any potential hazard.
