Ulsteinvik, Norway, 10 March 2026 – Jan De Nul has selected a customised vessel design from Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for its latest addition to its offshore fleet. The realisation of the trenching vessel marks a milestone in the collaboration between two leading maritime innovators. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028. The basic design is based on a robust and globally proven subsea vessel design.

As offshore oil and gas developments become more complex, operators are rethinking how fields are designed, operated, and supported. For Aker BP, this shift is clearly visible in the Yggdrasil development, the largest ongoing project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Ulstein Power & Control has signed a contract to deliver complete hybrid power and automation systems for two cable-laying vessels to be built for OMS Group at Ulstein Verft. “This is an important contract for us and confirms our position as a leading supplier of systems for complex maritime operations,” says Peter Pilskog, Managing Director of Ulstein Power & Control.
