Explore our portfolio of cable-laying vessel designs.
Step into the world of cable-laying vessels, the specialised giants of the sea. These vessels are crucial for laying and maintaining underwater communication and power cables, ensuring global connectivity. They boast advanced technology for precise cable placement, robust construction for durability in harsh marine environments, and dynamic positioning for optimal accuracy. Their high-tech equipment and efficient design make cable vessels vital to powering and connecting our world.
Cutting-edge solutions that optimise vessel performance and enhance operational efficiency.
Turning visions into realities motivates us to keep pushing for progress in the maritime industry.
You can learn more about how we work with our customers to achieve their visions through our stories.
The state-of-the-art 'Olympic Boreas' CSOV has been delivered to Olympic by Ulstein Verft on 25.07.2024. The vessel is the first of two sister vessels, based on the ULSTEIN SX222 design by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS.
Aptly nicknamed ‘A 4-wheel-drive for the seas’, the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN is celebrated for its exceptional manoeuvrability. To date, this innovative feature has been incorporated into ten newbuilds, all designed for the walk-to-work market and measuring up to 90m in length. The next likely segments to adopt the TWIN X-STERN are subsea and cable-laying.
As offshore wind farms grow in size and number of turbines, the demand for the capacity of existing inter-array cable laying vessels (CLVs) intensifies. The next-generation CLV must be capable, cost-effective, and able to serve more and larger turbines.
