The fibre cable tankers often operate between continents, connecting grids and installing lengthy undersea cable sections. They have a lot of capacity and are strong, and special care was made throughout the design phase to preserve low fuel consumption even in the most power-intensive scenarios. optical fibre.
A cable-laying vessel instals submarine cables and umbilicals to link offshore structures and transport offshore energy to shore. One or more rotating tables are installed aboard the vessels, enabling for continuous loading and installation of extremely long cables. A deep trench is dug with a cable plough, into which direct-buried fibre cables are inserted.
The dirt-filled trench is then marked with fibre optic cable marking tapes. ducting for cables and innerducts. In trenches dug for that purpose, plastic tubes used for cable ducts are placed.
The Global Fibre Optic Cable Laying Vessel market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
New Cable Laying Vessel Launched by Nexans With the launch of the ship being constructed by Norwegian shipbuilder Ulstein Verft, Nexans’ new cable-laying vessel, the CLV Nexans Aurora, has taken a step towards completion.
According to a press statement, the 149.9 m long and 31 m broad vessel will be employed in the offshore renewables sector to install subsea cables, including cables that connect offshore wind farms to the grid and interconnector systems. In June, the hull was delivered to Ulstein Verft and placed in the dock hall of the yard, which was a covered and controlled space.
Several work activities, such as electrical installations, insulation work, installation of the remaining major equipment, cable lay equipment, etc., have been completed during this time.
The yacht will be docked at Ulstein Verft, where it will begin the last stages of outfitting and start-up commissioning. The ship is equipped with a concentric, split basket 10,000Te carousel, dual cable lay capabilities, usage of separate Capstan or Tensioner firing lines, and the ability to operate in adverse weather.
“The Nexans fleet’s flagship.” The Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of Scotland will be the vessel’s first mission. The vessel was developed in collaboration with Nexans, Skipsteknisk (ship design), Ulstein Verft (engineering and fitting), and MAATS Tech (cable installation equipment), each experts in their fields, to create the subsea cable and umbilical systems installation vessel intended for worldwide operations, from shallow and deep subsea activities.
