Valmet has secured a new order for the implementation of its marine methanol control system on two cable-laying vessels for engineering company Jan De Nul . This order is placed through partner China Merchants Industry Digital Technology , who will act as intermediary for the integration of the system on the vessels to be built at the China Merchants Heavy Industry ( Jiangsu ) shipyard in China.
Automation of cable laying vessels
The new order includes the supply of an advanced methanol control system and a methanol safety system with over 1000 inputs/outputs ( I/O ). This system has four communication and remote access ports, ensuring high flexibility and real-time operability. In addition, the safety system meets the rigorous SIL2 requirements , ensuring reliability and compliance with international safety standards for operating in maritime environments.
Jan De Nul , known for its innovative approach to construction and dredging projects, has once again relied on Valmet’s expertise for this project. The company’s vision is complemented by this development, contributing to the company’s low-carbon and green operating model.
Valmet has experience in the control of environmentally friendly fuel supply systems. Their technical expertise can add value to our operations.
Philippe Hermans, shipbuilding manager at Jan De Nul.
Valmet has been a pioneer in the automation of ships powered by green fuels , an area in which it has vast experience in both new construction and modernization projects.
The company has been involved in several high-profile projects, including the first of its kind with Stena Line in 2014, which was the first global methanol project in the maritime industry.
Valmet DNA has high processing capacity and reliability, allowing it to meet Jan De Nul’s high safety standards.
I am confident that the investment will help Jan De Nul to pioneer a green and low-carbon operating model in the submarine cable business.
