Jan De Nul Group has ordered a further XL cable-laying vessel, equivalent to its ship, Fleeming Jenkin, set to be delivered in 2026.
The corporate says the newly ordered vessel, meant to carry power from offshore wind farms to land or to attach nations’ electrical energy grids, has already been booked for its first tasks.
Presently, the group is engaged on the Greenlink interconnector, linking the Eire and Wales grids.
“We’re and stay an enormous believer within the transition to renewable power,” says Jan Van de Velde, Jan De Nul Group’s director of latest constructing.
“With this second XL cable-laying vessel, we proceed to strengthen our pioneering position. Each vessels mix all of the cable set up experience we’ve constructed up over the previous decade. The consequence are vessels that function very effectively and have a a lot smaller carbon footprint.”
The XL ship would be the fifth vessel within the firm’s cable-laying fleet.
