VESSEL SOLUTIONS LEAD TO GREATER CABLE INSTALLATION PRODUCTIVITY CLV T2500-22 cablelay vessel


Royal IHC proudly provides cablelay solutions for the offshore wind market. Their delivery scope ranges from design services to turnkey delivery of complete newly built cablelay vessels, spreads and existing vessel upgrades. The CLV T2500-22 cablelay vessel is specifically designed for repeating sequences when installing large volumes of inter-array cable. It reduces costs of IAC laying operations by up to 30%. All stages of a cablelay operation have been taken into account, from load-out to burial of the cable into the seabed. The quadrant system is placed in-line, eliminating the need to lay cable any further than necessary. Smart routing of the cable enables it to be laid over portside or starboard side for optimum heading during second-end pull-in.


THE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATOR


IHC is continuing to develop new ideas to improve cable installation. On their carousels, they offer a hydraulic roller suspension system. This technology provides superior load sharing capability over fixed rollers, increasing both carousel and vessel service life. They are more resilient to fabrication tolerances and deck flatness. Roller change-out is also much safer and faster. The company has developed a patented, heave compensated cable deployment chute which increases the sea state at which cable can be safely laid.


Advanced Cable Plough 2 (ACP2)


WINDFARM CABLE TRENCHING


Hi-Traq is the world’s first subsea trencher specifically designed for the installation and burial of windfarm power cables. The harsh shallow water environments on the European continental shelf, present a special set of challenges for installation contractors. Hi-Traq, with its unique four-track chassis, provides enhanced steering and traction in the toughest environments. Hi-Traq is currently undergoing final assembly in readiness for testing and full operation early in 2017. A flagship brand new system, the all- new Advanced Cable Plough 2 [ACP2] is the first in the offshore industry to be optimised for high performance in all areas but especially for the safe handling of large


diameter power cables. It accommodates products up to OD300mm with a 5m MBR. It offers simultaneous lay and trench and post lay trenching.


The ACP2 is designed to meet DeepOcean’s specification and is destined for their state of the art power cable installation vessel Maersk Connector.
