The construction project of the cable lay vessel 'Nexans Aurora' has recently reached a new milestone, as the installation of the MAATS Tech equipment package including the carousel, loading arms, access tower and control cabin have now been completed.
All the abovementioned equipment are MAATS Tech Ltd deliveries, and employees from Maats have been working at the yard for several weeks for the installations and testing of the cable lay equipment.
The next milestone will be the heeling test. The 'Nexans Aurora' is due for delivery to Nexans this year, and her first assignments will be in the offshore wind segment.
The expected global gap in vessel capacity for foundation installation and transportation for ever-growing offshore wind components can slow down the growth speed of offshore wind farm developments across the globe.
We accept the design challenge.
In the vast expanse of offshore wind energy, cable-laying vessels are essential—the silent architects of our renewable future. As wind farms grow larger and more ambitious, the demand for efficient cable installations has intensified. Enter the ULSTEIN SX225, a vessel designed to tackle the challenges head-on.
Offshore wind energy generation is one means to reach international climate goals. Ulstein has developed offshore wind designs since 2006. The designs draw on our broad experience in oil and gas, and range from new turbine installation concepts to foundation installation vessels and service operation vessels.
