History and ownership
Built in 2015 by Uljanik Shipyard, the Isaac Newton Vessel operates under the Jan De Nul Group and was delivered for operations under the Luxembourg flag. It handles subsea installations, executing the Marjan GOSP project and the PEI-NB power cable link in Canada.
Technical details
Equipped with a DP2 dynamic positioning system and diesel-electric propulsion (totalling 12,330 kW), this specialised cable-laying vessel can install up to 10,700 tonnes of cable per trip.
It utilises massive turntables (7,400-tonne capacity above deck, 5,000-tonne capacity below deck) and active heave-compensation cranes for subsea rock installation and trenching.
