Jan De Nul Orders Methanol-Capable Rock Installation Ship
Tuesday September 30, 2025
Offshore firm Jan De Nul has ordered a methanol-capable subsea rock installation vessel to support offshore energy projects.
The vessel will be capable of installing extra-large rocks in the water depths of up to 400 m, Jan De Nul said in an email statement on Tuesday.
Named George W. Goethals, it will have a capacity of up to 37,000 tonnes.
“The engines of the vessel can run on biofuel and green methanol, which significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, Jan De Nul said.
“The hybrid power plant on board also contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and optimal fuel usage.”
The firm has not shared details of the shipbuilder or when the vessel will be delivered.
