        挪威造船公司VARD與丹麥的NCT Offshore公司簽訂合同，為其設計建造一艘“VARD 9 01”型的電纜敷設船（CLV）。

        該船由挪威奧勒松（Ålesund）的Vard Design公司設計，船體將在羅馬尼亞（Romania）的Vard Tulcea公司建造，而最終的舾裝、調試和交付工作將由VARD公司在挪威的一家船廠完成。 

        據該公司稱，這艘“VARD 9 01”型船舶是其與NCT Offshore公司的一次密切合作，專門為海底電纜敷設作業設計配備。同時，這艘船的設計重點也包括出色的海上航行與定位性能及低油耗優勢。 

        NCT Offshore公司法務與項目主管Alexander Cortes表示：“這是我司一年內第二次與VARD公司簽訂船舶交付合同?；赩ARD公司妥善完成了上次的船舶交付工作，很明顯對NCT Offshore而言，我司會繼續選擇與VARD公司合作。”

        這艘船將裝配由Vard Electro公司提供的整套“SeaQ”動力和控制包，其中包括電池、配電盤和岸電連接系統，從而減少能耗并提高可操縱性；另外該船會配備兩個主電纜罐、一間“T-ROV”機庫、一套“Walk-to-Work”工作系統和一個大A型架。

        Vard Accommodation公司著手為該船設計“HVAC-R”系統及內部方案，以便其能夠在單人艙中容納60人。

        這艘95米長的電纜敷設船還將配備“DP2”定位系統，因為其主要活動是陣列間電纜的安裝，這種設計裝配理念使其具備了電纜維修保養及光纜安裝功能。

        這艘船計劃于2024年第四季度交付。

        VARD公司市場營銷高級副總裁Roy Arne Stavik說道：“我司非常高興再次出售“VARD 9 01”型設計的升級版，專用于可再生能源和光纖作業；也很榮幸繼續與NCT Offshore公司的合作關系。去年NCT Offshore公司第一次來找我們的時候買下了一艘“VARD 1 08”型設計的平臺供應船。我們為其將這個新的建造項目交給我司表示誠摯的感謝。"

        前些天，VARD公司宣布其與一家國際航運公司簽署了設計建造一艘新電纜敷設船的合同，但其在聲明中并未透露任何有關客戶的信息。

        VARD公司還在分別為意大利布纜巨頭Prysmian集團建造一艘電纜敷設新船，為Van Oord公司建造電纜敷設船“Calypso”號，以及為Ocean Infinity公司打造高科技“Armada”船隊。

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.
