en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch marine services provider Boskalis recently announced the order of a new high-capacity cable-laying vessel, designed to meet the growing demand for long-distance cable installation in the global interconnection and offshore wind markets, particularly in the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable sector. The new vessel is scheduled to officially enter service in 2029.

The vessel will be equipped with two cable carousels, each with a carrying capacity of 12,000 tonnes, and will feature a concentric carousel design for the first time. This advanced layout significantly increases the single-load capacity, enabling the vessel to lay longer continuous cable sections, effectively reducing the number of costly offshore joints and thereby enhancing the long-term operational reliability of the cable system.

Boskalis has over 15 years of engineering experience in the submarine cable installation sector and has been involved in more than 140 submarine cable-related projects to date. The company's current fleet includes three specialist cable-laying vessels and one trenching support vessel. The addition of the new vessel will further enhance its operational capabilities in the HVDC cable laying sector, addressing the sustained demand driven by global offshore wind development and grid interconnection projects.
