Pharos Offshore Group announced the purchase of a 620hp UTV620 jet trencher on October 27, 2025 to enhance their subsea cable and pipeline burial services ahead of an active 2026 season. In addition, Jake Tompkins was appointed Chairman to mark an important leadership milestone in their growth strategy and further solidify Pharos' position within offshore wind, telecoms, oil & gas and other sectors.
Pharos Offshore Group Ltd has bolstered its subsea trenching capability with the addition of the UTV620 jet trencher (formerly the CT1) from SMD as it seeks to capitalise on growing demand across offshore wind, telecoms and energy markets. "This acquisition forms part of our ambitious growth plans for Pharos, and we see this as a necessary step to deliver that growth," said Pharos’ management. "Pharos' existing trenching and seabed intervention assets are complementary to this initiative. This acquisition is critical as we look to scale up our subsea trenching capabilities within these markets as Pharos deploys its first UTV620 under our banner by December 2025.”
