Nexans Aurora lauched (VIDEO)

On 8 November 2020, Nexans’ next-generation cable laying vessel Nexans Aurora was launched.

The 149.9 m long and 31 m wide vessel will be working in the offshore renewables market, installing subsea cables including cables connecting offshore wind farms to the grid and interconnector systems.

The hull arrived at Ulstein Verft in June 2020 and has for five months been positioned in the roofed and controlled environment of the yard’s dock hall.

During this period, various work tasks have been accomplished, including electrical installations, insulation work, installation of the remaining main equipment (e.g. engines, thrusters, main switchboards, winches) and cable lay equipment, other minor and major installations, interior and exterior painting.

After her launch, the Nexans Aurora will be positioned quayside at Ulstein Verft and will then enter the last outfitting and start-up commissioning phases.
