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 Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) "Odin Viking" arrived at Ulstein Verft on 1 February 2025 to install a brand-new Launch & Recovery system (L-LARS) from Evotec, a supplier based in Ulsteinvik.
Offshore wind farms are currently serviced using Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) or helicopters for day operations, and Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) for extended periods. What if there were a CAPEX-smart design that reduces building costs by over 50% compared to an SOV and supplement the SOVs on most tasks?
Penta-Ocean Construction, a prominent Japanese general contractor, has commissioned Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. to design its new heavy lift vessel for offshore wind foundation installation. The customised ULSTEIN HX118 design will feature a 5,000-ton Huisman main crane and the ULSTEIN U-STERN™, which enables the installation of increasingly larger monopile foundations.
