Boskalis aims to bring a new cable-lay vessel (CLV) into its fleet to target growing demand for long-distance cable installation as the offshore wind and interconnector sector soars.

The vessel will have a vast cable carrying capacity, at 24,000 tonnes, using two 12,000-tonne cable carousels including  a concentric carousel intended to support the installation of longer cable sections in a single continuous run.
