Miros monitoring expertise for Prysmian cable-layers

Prysmian Monna Lisa and Prysmian Marco Polo have both been fitted with Miros’ WaveSystem and Miros Cloud technology and now benefit from accurate real-time sea state and weather data.

“At Prysmian, we continuously seek cutting-edge solutions to enhance the efficiency and safety of our offshore operations,” said Valerio Acquaotta, marine installation director at Prysmian.

“Access to real-time, accurate wave and weather data is crucial for optimising our cable-laying operations, ensuring precision, and reducing operational risk.”

The agreement builds upon the successful deployment of the same monitoring systems on Prysmian Leonardo da Vinci vessel in 2021.

Prysmian Marco Polo specialises in shallow-water cable laying and burial installation, even in harsh environmental conditions.

Meanwhile Prysmian Monna Lisa, the sister vessel to Prysmian Leonardo da Vinci, is designed and equipped to carry out deeper power cable installations and is capable of operating in waters of up to 3,000 metres.

By integrating Miros’ advanced wave measurement and monitoring solutions, the vessels will benefit from improved situational awareness, helping ensure safer, more efficient and more precise cable-laying operations.

Prysmian is set to increase its installation capabilities with eight vessels by 2027, including the new Prysmian Alessandro Volta, which is Prysmian’s most advanced and largest in terms of size and capacity.

The increased capabilities will enable the company to meet the growing demand for its cable systems.
