Jan De Nul’s New Multipurpose Vessel Launched

Jan De Nul’s new multipurpose vessel Isaac Newton was launched at the Croatian shipyard Uljanik Brodogradiliste on Saturday, March 7. 

The vessel can be deployed on a variety of projects: installing subsea cables, trench dredging and subsea rock installation.

In cable-installation mode, Isaac Newton will be capable of transporting and laying cable in a single length with a total weight of approximately 10,000 tonnes.

The company said that the construction of multipurpose vessels allows it to better meet the clients’ requests to have a project executed by one contractor or one vessel and to reduce the mobilization costs for its clients.
