NKT's New Bunker-Saving Cable-Laying Vessel to Utilise Shore Power
NKT Group GmbH (NKT) Thursday announced that its new cable-laying vessel, NKT Victoria, not only features a bunker-saving design, but will utilise shore power.
"NKT Victoria uses a power-from-shore solution together with onboard energy storage systems. This reduces fuel and CO2 consumption significantly compared with other cable-laying vessels available in the market," explained NKT.
"The power-from-shore connection can be maintained while loading the cable onto the vessel – a unique advantage which results in a more environmental-friendly operation."
The company says the new addition to the NKT fleet completes its high-voltage AC/DC power cable system offering, which now includes planning, design, manufacturing, installation, and related cable-laying services.
"With this cable-laying vessel we are now among the very few AC/DC high-voltage offshore cable system providers to deliver complete turnkey solutions," said Michael Hedegaard Lyng, President and CEO of NKT.
"We are well-positioned to continue taking an active part in the growing global market for offshore wind projects and further build on our reputation as a trusted partner in this industry."
