In September 2020, the three azimuth propulsion thrusters were installed in the cable-laying vessel 'Nexans Aurora', which is under construction at Ulstein Verft. Each thruster has an effect of 3,200 kW and a diameter of 2,900 mm.
The thrusters are part of a major delivery from Brunvoll, which also includes two bow thrusters (3,100 kW), and a retractable azimuth unit of 3,000kW.
Parallell work tasks
Multiple operations are going on at the same time during a ship construction newbuild project such as the 'Nexans Aurora'. The photo below shows the heave of one of the two tensioners, a Maats Tech delivery. The vessel is also currently being painted.
Olympic's latest CSOV, the 'Olympic Notos', has been operational for six months since her delivery, and the feedback is outstanding.
Subsea rock installation is essential for offshore projects, and for over twenty years, Ulstein Design & Solutions BV has been leading the way in vessel design.
In today's evolving maritime industry, ship owners encounter challenges and opportunities. What options do you have when markets are unpredictable? Sometimes it's all about striking that perfect balance.
