‘Isaac Newton’ Delivered to Jan De Nul

The world’s largest multipurpose cable laying vessel, Jan De Nul’s Isaac Newton, was delivered to its owner on Friday, 27 November. 

The ceremony took place at the Uljanik shipyard in Croatia, where the Isaac Newton was the first DP2-class dynamic positioning vessel built. “While the construction of this ship was an incredibly challenging task, our shipbuilders showed their high-level abilities, experience and flexibility and completed a job which opens new possibilities for future co-operation,” the shipyard said.

Isaac Newton is capable of covering a variety of cabling work: installing subsea cables, trench dredging and subsea rock installation. The vessel is 138m long, 32m wide, and has a deadweight of 13,436t.
