New cable laying vessel capable of running on methanol

Wind Energy – Cable Installation

Building upon the strong operational experience and cutting-edge technology featured on NKT Victoria, the new cable laying vessel NKT Eleonora will represent the next generation of cable laying vessels in in terms of both design and capabilities.

Notably, it will be one of the world’s first cable laying vessels designed to be able to run on methanol.

Equipped with three turntables, NKT Eleonora will offer a power cable laying capacity in excess of 23,000 tonnes, and host a large range of subsea tooling for precise installation and service of offshore cables. The vessel will be capable of laying three power cables, so it can fulfil evolving customer requirements, especially on large-scale 525 kV projects where metallic return cables are required.
