Lars Lühr Olsen, managing director at Ulstein Verft, said the vessel will be able to install complex cable connections in severe weather conditions globally, due to its manoeuvrability and station-keeping capabilities. It is an updated version of the Nexans Aurora, delivered in 2021, with capabilities to transport and lay high-voltage subsea cables, including cable bundles, recovery and repair. The DP3 vessel has a split turntable on deck capable of holding up to 10,000 t of cable, an under-deck turntable with a 3,500-t cable capacity; and a fiber-optic tank holding 450 t of fiber cable. Nexans will use it for connecting offshore wind farms to local grids and establishing power connections between islands and the mainland.
