        意大利电缆生产巨头普睿司曼集团（Prysmian Group）欲投入约2亿欧元购买一艘新布缆船，该船将配备总功率达3兆瓦的电池组。

 

        正如去年交付的“Leonardo da Vinci”号一样，这艘长170米的新船将由Fincantieri集团的子公司VARD建造。

 

        这艘船将于2025年第一季度全面投入使用，以加强普睿司曼集团的项目执行力，改进其工程、采购、施工与安装（engineering, procurement, construction, installation，简称EPCI）方法。

 

        据该公司称，新船拥有绿色证书，具备高电缆负载力，且能够高速航行，从而大大减少所需电缆安装数，总体上降低二氧化碳排放量。与传统布缆船相比，这艘新船能够减少约40%的燃料消耗量。

 

        此外，该船的环保发动机将减少85%的氮氧化物排放量。

 

        普睿司曼集团项目部执行副总裁Hakan Ozmen表示：“新船在确保我司按时交付和执行电缆安装任务的同时，无疑会大大提高我司的电缆安装力，加强我司在互连电缆和海上风电场市场的领导地位。”

 

        他还补充说：“这艘新船是'Leonardo da Vinci '号和我们现有船队中其他布缆船的补充。从现在起，它将对集团在不断发展的海底电缆安装业务方面的长期发展起到支持作用。” 

 

        该布缆船的船体与“Leonardo Da Vinci”号基本相同，也将配备类似的电缆安装设备，如第一条铺设线配有适于3000米以上深水安装的绞盘；第二条独立铺设线配有线性电缆发动机，以提高操作灵活性；还配备了分别为7000吨和10000吨的两个转盘，以及DP3定位和稳海系统，同时其最大运输速度将超过16节。

  

        新船一旦投入运营，它将专门用于执行美国弗吉尼亚海岸风电（Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind，简称CVOW）项目、Neuconnect能源链以及德国的Dolwin4和Borwin4海上风电场电网连接系统。

 

        目前，普睿司曼集团的船队由五艘布缆船组成，包括“Giulio Verne”号（持有约35年的记录）、“Cable Enterprise”号（主要用于安装海上风电出口电缆）、“Ulisse”号（用于浅水电缆安装的驳船）、“Barbarossa”号（近期加入船队的小型驳船，设计用于在极浅水和潮间带作业）以及“Leonardo da Vinci”号。

Prysmian places order for new cable layer with VARD

 

Italian cabling giant Prysmian Group is investing approximately €200 million in a new cable-laying vessel which will be equipped with a battery pack for a total power of 3 MW.

 

The new 170-meter-long vessel will be built by the VARD Group, a subsidiary of the Fincantieri Group, just like Leonardo da Vinci which was delivered last year.

 

It is set to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to reinforce Prysmian’s project execution capabilities and its engineering, procurement, construction, installation (EPCI) approach.

 

According to the company, the new vessel will have green credentials, high cable load capacity and navigation speed that will significantly reduce the number of cable installation campaigns needed, enabling an overall decrease in CO2 emissions and a reduction in fuel consumption of approximately 40% compared to a traditional cable-laying vessel.

 

In addition, the vessel’s green engines are expected to cut NOX emissions by 85%.

 

“The new vessel will be definitely a game changer in strengthening our installation capabilities and supporting our leadership position in the interconnection and offshore wind farm markets, while ensuring on-time delivery and execution,” said Hakan Ozmen, EVP Project BU at Prysmian Group.

 

“This new vessel is in addition to Leonardo da Vinci and the other cable-laying vessels in our existing fleet, and from now on it will support the Group’s long-term growth in the submarine cable installation business, which is constantly evolving.” 

 

With substantially the same hull as Leonardo Da Vinci, the cable-laying vessel will also be equipped with similar cable installation equipment, such as a first laying line with a capstan suitable for deep water installation at over 3,000 meters, a second independent laying line with linear cable engines in order to increase operating flexibility, two carousels of 7,000 and 10,000 tons, and DP3 positioning and seakeeping systems, while the maximum transit speed will exceed 16 knots.

 

Once operational, it will be dedicated to the execution of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project in the U.S., the Neuconnect Energy Link, and the Dolwin4 and Borwin4 offshore wind grid connection cable systems in Germany.

 

Prysmian’s fleet currently consists of five cable-laying vessels, including Giulio Verne, with a track record of about 35 years, Cable Enterprise, mainly used for installation of offshore wind export cables, Ulisse, a barge for shallow-water installation, Barbarossa, a small barge recently added to the fleet and designed for operations in very shallow water and intertidal zones, and Leonardo da Vinci.
