NewzGreece is currently evaluating a request to grant an exceptional permit for a French-flagged multipurpose research vessel, the VB Abeil, to conduct underwater surveys in Greek territorial waters. The proposed operations are intended to support the Great Sea Interconnector, a planned electricity cable linking Crete and Cyprus.
The initiative represents a critical technical step forward for the high-profile interconnector project, which aims to bridge power grids across the Eastern Mediterranean. By assessing the seabed conditions within Greek jurisdiction, the surveys will help determine the physical feasibility and precise routing of the undersea electrical link.
