Nexans has achieved a new milestone at its Halden plant in Norway, setting a company record for the heaviest cable load ever handled. The company’s cable-laying vessel Nexans Aurora departed the facility carrying 9,731 tons of cable — the largest load in Nexans’ history.

The achievement surpasses the company’s previous record from 2023 by 256 tons, which was set during the Oseberg Project. The new figure marks not only a record for Nexans Aurora but also for the Halden plant, representing the heaviest load ever supplied and loaded on one keel from the plant since its first delivery to Nexans Skagerrak in 1976.

According to Nexans, this milestone demonstrates the strength, precision, and teamwork across its PWR-Transmission division — a collective effort that made the record-breaking operation possible.
