Jan De Nul orders 1,600 hp powered versatile trenching vehicle equipped with jetting swords and hybrid mechanical chain cutter. The trenching vehicle will be named Swordfish, joining Jan De Nul's fleet of successful trenching vehicles including Sunfish, Moonfish and Starfish. This new investment further strengthens Jan De Nul's cable-lay expertise in support of the global energy transition. Jan De Nul Group has signed an agreement with Osbit Ltd (UK) for the design and construction of a new sub-sea trenching vehicle, named Swordfish. Delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022. The Swordfish will be a high-powered state-of-the-art sub-sea trenching vehicle that can be fitted with either a jetting installation, a mechanical chain cutter or a combination of both to tackle a wide variety of soil conditions and bury cables up to 3 or even 3.5 m deep. Wouter Vermeersch, Manager Offshore Cables at Jan De Nul Group stated, "The Swordfish makes the perfect addition to our existing fleet of trenching vehicles providing excellent protection for cables installed by any of our Cable Laying Vessels. |
