The main equipment for the CLV vessel 'Nexans Aurora' is currently being lifted on board the vessel and mounted. The engine on these photos is the third of six main engines.
The 'Nexans Aurora' is now positioned in the dock hall at Ulstein Verft. The DP3 cable laying vessel for Nexans is large and compact. Measuring 149.9 m length and 31 m in the beam, the deadweight is 17,000 tonnes.
She will be prepared for vertical lay operations and complex subsea construction tasks in deep waters in addition to the principle built in structural and system capacities and flexible design features to allow easy adaptation to customer's future needs.
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.
