VARD has completed the tow of the aftship for hull 969, built for NKT, marking a significant milestone in the vessel’s construction. The section was successfully moved from Vard Shipyards Romania in Brăila to Tulcea, where it will later join the foreship and superstructure.
The vessel is designed for offshore cable-laying operations with a total capacity of 23,000 tonnes across three turntables, equipped with cutting-edge subsea tools and dual-fuel engines prepared for low-carbon methanol. This configuration represents progress toward more sustainable and efficient offshore cable installation.
The achievement reflects close cooperation between NKT and VARD teams throughout the value chain.
