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.
