Norway’s Vard has begun construction of an advanced hybrid power cable laying and construction vessel <\/strong>for the Japanese offshore wind energy sector. The steel cutting ceremony, which represents a significant step in this project, took place on July 1 at the company’s shipyard in Braila, Romania.<\/p>\n\n

This vessel is being built for Toyo Construction, a leading Japanese company specializing in civil and architectural construction projects both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n\n

Construction of the hybrid vessel for the Japanese market<\/h2>\n\n

In this context, it is important to recall that Toyo Construction, in collaboration with Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), \n established a joint venture<\/a>\n<\/strong> focused on wind energy last summer. This effort seeks to strengthen synergies in several areas, such as survey planning, workboat procurement and offshore construction.<\/p>\n\n

The contract, announced by the company at the end of 2023, is worth more than $200 million.<\/p>\n\n

The vessel under construction, of Vard 9 15 design, has been specifically developed to meet the needs of the Japanese offshore wind energy market. \n offshore wind energy<\/a>\n<\/strong>as well as to operate globally. According to Vard, this 150-meter-long vessel will feature a hull design optimized to suit Japanese conditions, allowing it to be used in both shallow and deep waters<\/strong>. In addition, it is designed for floating offshore wind \n floating offshore wind power generation<\/a>\n<\/strong> and direct current (DC) power transmission.<\/p>\n\n

9,000 tons of cargo and state-of-the-art technology<\/h2>\n\n

The cable-laying vessel will be self-propelled and equipped with five main generators and two batteries, providing a load capacity of 9,000 tons<\/strong>. It will reach a maximum transit speed of 13 knots and will have 90 single cabins, which will accommodate 90 people on board.<\/p>\n\n

Notable equipment to be incorporated will include a 250-metric-ton all-electric hybrid boom subsea crane and a 100-metric-ton articulating boom crane, both supplied by Huisman.<\/p>\n\n

Construction of the vessel is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2026<\/strong>, marking a milestone in the development of the infrastructure needed for the expansion of wind energy in Japan and other markets.<\/p>\n\n
