        挪威造船公司VARD与丹麦的NCT Offshore公司签订合同，为其设计建造一艘“VARD 9 01”型的电缆敷设船（CLV）。

        该船由挪威奥勒松（Ålesund）的Vard Design公司设计，船体将在罗马尼亚（Romania）的Vard Tulcea公司建造，而最终的舾装、调试和交付工作将由VARD公司在挪威的一家船厂完成。 

        据该公司称，这艘“VARD 9 01”型船舶是其与NCT Offshore公司的一次密切合作，专门为海底电缆敷设作业设计配备。同时，这艘船的设计重点也包括出色的海上航行与定位性能及低油耗优势。 

        NCT Offshore公司法务与项目主管Alexander Cortes表示：“这是我司一年内第二次与VARD公司签订船舶交付合同。基于VARD公司妥善完成了上次的船舶交付工作，很明显对NCT Offshore而言，我司会继续选择与VARD公司合作。”

        这艘船将装配由Vard Electro公司提供的整套“SeaQ”动力和控制包，其中包括电池、配电盘和岸电连接系统，从而减少能耗并提高可操纵性；另外该船会配备两个主电缆罐、一间“T-ROV”机库、一套“Walk-to-Work”工作系统和一个大A型架。

        Vard Accommodation公司着手为该船设计“HVAC-R”系统及内部方案，以便其能够在单人舱中容纳60人。

        这艘95米长的电缆敷设船还将配备“DP2”定位系统，因为其主要活动是阵列间电缆的安装，这种设计装配理念使其具备了电缆维修保养及光缆安装功能。

        这艘船计划于2024年第四季度交付。

        VARD公司市场营销高级副总裁Roy Arne Stavik说道：“我司非常高兴再次出售“VARD 9 01”型设计的升级版，专用于可再生能源和光纤作业；也很荣幸继续与NCT Offshore公司的合作关系。去年NCT Offshore公司第一次来找我们的时候买下了一艘“VARD 1 08”型设计的平台供应船。我们为其将这个新的建造项目交给我司表示诚挚的感谢。"

        前些天，VARD公司宣布其与一家国际航运公司签署了设计建造一艘新电缆敷设船的合同，但其在声明中并未透露任何有关客户的信息。

        VARD公司还在分别为意大利布缆巨头Prysmian集团建造一艘电缆敷设新船，为Van Oord公司建造电缆敷设船“Calypso”号，以及为Ocean Infinity公司打造高科技“Armada”船队。

VARD receives cable-layer order from Denmark

VARD has secured a contract with Denmark’s NCT Offshore for the design and construction of a cable laying vessel (CLV) of VARD 9 01 design.

The vessel is designed by Vard Design in Ålesund, Norway, the hull will be built at Vard Tulcea in Romania, while the final outfitting, commissioning and delivery will be carried out by one of VARD’s shipyards in Norway. 

According to the company, this VARD 9 01 has been specially designed and equipped for subsea cable laying operations in close collaboration with NCT Offshore, and with a high focus on good sea-keeping capabilities, excellent station-keeping performances and low fuel consumption. 

“This is the second time in the span of 12 months that we have signed a contract with VARD for the delivery of a vessel,” said Head of Legal & Projects at NCT Offshore, Alexander Cortes. “Based on how well the past delivery was handled, it was an obvious choice for us to approach them with this second requirement.”

The vessel will be equipped with a complete SeaQ power and control package delivered by Vard Electro, encompassing batteries, switchboards, and shore connection, allowing for a reduction in fuel consumption and increased operability, and will be fitted with two main cable tanks, a T-ROV hangar, a walk-to-work system, and a large A-frame.

Vard Accommodation is delivering HVAC-R and interior concepts for the vessel that will be able to accommodate 60 persons in single cabins.

The 95-meter-long CLV will also be equipped with a DP2 system as the primary activities are inter-array cable installation, with capability of cable repair/maintenance and fiber optic cable installation built into its design and fitting.

Delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024.

“We are very pleased to again sell a VARD 9 01 design in an upgraded version targeting renewables and fiber optics work and continue our relationship with NCT Offshore,” said Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing in VARD, Roy Arne Stavik. “They first came to us last year when they bought a PSV of VARD 1 08 design. We do appreciate them coming back to us with this new build project.”

Just a few days ago VARD announced it had signed a contract with an international shipping company for the design and construction of a new cable-laying vessel. In the statement, the company did not reveal any information about the client.

VARD is also building a new cable layer for Italian cabling giant Prysmian Group, the cable-laying vessel Calypso for Van Oord, as well as Ocean Infinity’s high-tech Armada fleet.
