Cable-lay equipment for Toyo Construction’s hybrid vessel

Wind Energy – Cable Lay Equipment

NOV has received a turnkey contract from VARD to provide an integrated cable-lay system for Toyo Construction’s new hybrid cable-lay and construction vessel.

The new vessel will play a major role in Japan’s rising offshore wind sector.

This contract represents another milestone toward establishing NOV as an industry leader in cable-lay systems. Remacut, part of NOV’s Marine and Construction business unit, offers one of the most advanced integrated cable-lay systems.

Automated line control enables efficient inter-array and export cable installation, and the system can also be reconfigured for DC cable installation.

For Toyo’s vessel, a VARD 9 15 design, Remacut will provide a 5,000-tonne under-deck carousel, a 4,000-tonne on-deck carousel, lay tensioners, a quadrant handling system, stern chutes, a CPS storage and handling system, plus a set of winches.

Engineering will take place in Stonehouse, UK, and Rivoli, Italy. Manufacturing will also occur in Italy. The Remacut cable-lay equipment is expected to be delivered throughout 2025.

This reliable cable-lay system is specially designed for modularity and flexibility. The modules can be mobilized or demobilized quickly to free up the deck for other vessel operations.
