MacArtney Offshore Wind Options has been employed by Jan de Nul to design and provide customized CEMAC tensioner programs for its complete cable laying vessel (CLV) fleet, which incorporates the world’s largest cable layer – the Fleeming Jenkin.
MacArtney’s complete scope includes designing, developing, and delivering superior tensioner programs for Jan De Nul Group’s CLV fleet, together with the Connector, Willem de Vlamingh and the brand new Fleeming Jenkin.
The scope additionally encompasses upgrading tensioner programs beforehand delivered for the Isaac Newton CLV.
For the Fleeming Jenkin CLV, MacArtney will provide three high-capacity CEMAC four-track fundamental deck tensioners designed to facilitate bundled lay operations with minimised cable distance and mixed lay operations as much as 150 tonnes, two CEMAC loading arm tensioners and related totally electrical
The vessel will boast a cable carrying capability of 28,000 tonnes and is engineered for ultra-deep laying in waters as much as 3,000 meters, in addition to bundled lay operations.
MacArtney’s electrically pushed tensioners are mentioned to make sure secure and managed cable dealing with, with real-time monitoring of cable integrity. All tools is totally built-in with the vessel’s central management system.
