_PRESS RELEASE_
- Nexans is investing in a new cutting-edge cable laying
vessel to support a record project backlog and meet future needs in
a booming offshore wind and interconnection market.
- This unique and pioneering vessel builds on the
capabilities of the Nexans
Aurora, with an enhanced loading capacity and the
ability to lay four cables
simultaneously.
- This vessel will be delivered in 2026.
Paris, July 25, 2023 – Nexans,
a world leader in the cable system design, manufacturing and
services, has announced an expansion in its presence in the
offshore wind and interconnection market, by adding a third cable
laying vessel to its fleet.
This strategic decision will allow the Group to
meet the increasing demand for electrification, especially in the
American and European markets, driven by a record project backlog
and recently strengthened by the historic €1.7 billion contract
with TenneT, and €1.43 billion contract for EuroAsia Interconnector
project.
This new strategic asset will also directly and
indirectly create hundreds of jobs worldwide during its
construction and operational period.
A new ship with unprecedented
capabilities
Building upon the cutting-edge technology
featured on Nexans’ flagship vessel, the Nexans Aurora, this new
ship goes further with improved design, comfort and capabilities.
Equipped with three turntables, offering a 13,500-tonne loading
capacity, and hosting a large range of subsea tooling including
jetting and ploughing tools, this vessel will be capable of laying
up to four cables simultaneously to meet specific customer
requirements, especially on large-scale projects.
By adding this vessel to its fleet, Nexans is
also enhancing its versatility and flexibility covering a widening
geographical footprint.
From an environmental standpoint, the new vessel
with its increased load capacity, an advanced hybrid power system
and capable of running on biodiesel mix, will offer a significant
reduced footprint, reflecting the Group’s strategic environmental
vision.
Vincent Dessale –
Nexans Chief Operations Officer and Senior
EVP – said: “This new vessel will be the
most technologically advanced cable layer ever deployed. Fitted
with a range of high-tech cable installation and burial equipment,
it will enhance the capabilities of our subsea cable operations to
tackle projects on an unprecedented scale. This new strategic asset
will support the Group’s long-term growth, consolidating its
leadership in the interconnection and offshore markets. It
perfectly embodies Nexans’ strategy to electrify the future, and
its innovative features illustrate our ever-increasing commitment
to meeting our partners’ needs.”
