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.
Dajin Heavy Industry has selected the ULSTEIN HX122 design, featuring the U-STERN® hull solution, for the development of its offshore installation vessel. The vessel has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. in the Netherlands. The vessel is optimised for installing monopiles, jacket foundations, and offshore substations, supporting the growing demand for larger and more complex offshore wind projects.
Jan De Nul has exercised the option for a second trenching vessel based on the customised vessel design developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. The decision confirms the confidence in the design platform and strengthens the collaboration between the two companies.
Fuel costs are rising, emission requirements are tightening, and vessel owners are searching for long-term energy solutions. A concept study by Ulstein indicates that a nuclear hybrid solution could reduce conventional fuel consumption by more than 50%, and in some operational modes eliminate it entirely.
