Nexans Aurora Taking Final Shape

According to the cable manufacturer, the vessel’s blocks will soon be completely assembled.

Nexans Aurora is a DP3 cable laying vessel that will be outfitted for power cable laying, including bundle laying, jointing and repair, and cable system protection and trenching.

Nexans signed a deal with Ulstein Verft for the construction of the vessel back in July 2018.

Shortly after, it was announced that MAATS Tech will supply a deck spread and Palfinger Marine a major deck equipment package.

Designed by Skipsteknisk, the 150m CLV has a 31m long beam, a turntable with cable capacity of 10,000t, and can accommodate up to 90 persons.

Ulstein began the construction of Nexans Aurora in February last year. Delivery is scheduled for 2021.
