During a time span of a few days in September 2020, the cable capstan has been installed, the paint process is ongoing and the thrusters are about to be installed.
With a length of 149.9m, a beam of 31m and a dead weight of 17,000t, the 'Nexans Aurora' is one of the largest vessels being constructed in the history of Ulstein Verft. With a large 10 000t capacity and split turntable, the vessel is well prepared for complex construction tasks in severe weather conditions anywhere in the world. Her first assignment will be to install the export cables for the Seagreen offshore wind farm project. The construction on the 1,075 megawatt (MW) project will start in 2021. When completed, the Seagreen 1 will be Scotland's largest wind farm.
