Jan De Nul <\/strong>is expanding its fleet with the George W. Goethals, a subsea protection vessel that aims to strengthen the security of submarine cable power and information data flow in the world.<\/p>\n\n

About the new submarine protection vessel<\/h2>\n\n

With thousands of kilometers of \n undersea cables<\/a>\n<\/strong> carrying electricity and data under the oceans, the need to protect these networks is more urgent than ever. Jan De Nul<\/em> addresses this challenge with a rock installation vessel<\/strong> with capabilities to operate at depths of up to 400 meters, ensuring greater stability and safety for subsea connections.<\/p>\n\n

Designed entirely by Jan De Nul’s team, the George W. Goethals can carry up to 37,000 tons of rock through a flexible pipeline system. Such capabilities will protect sensitive stretches of electrical and data cables exposed to physical threats or acts of sabotage. <\/p>\n\n

Energy regions such as the North Sea and Southeast Asia will be the core of the new vessel’s operations. These areas concentrate \n wind projects<\/strong>\n<\/a> projects and electrical interconnections that require robust subsea protection. <\/p>\n\n

The vessel is equipped with an ultra-low emission system<\/strong>(ULEv<\/em>), complying with the strictest European standards, such as Stage V and EURO VI. In addition, it runs on biofuel and green methanol and has a hybrid system with batteries to stabilize the load and decreases CO\u2082 emissions during intense operations. <\/p>\n\n

With four electric excavators installed, the vessel optimizes rock loading without the need for additional land infrastructure. This improves operational efficiency in remote areas and strengthens its ecological profile. <\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, the George W. Goethals, Jan De Nul builds two large-capacity cable-laying vessels – the Fleeming Jenkin<\/em> and the William Thomson –<\/em>intended to link international power grids .<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The vessel’s name honors George Washington Goethals, the engineer in charge of the construction of the Panama Canal, a project in which Jan De Nul also participated between 2009 and 2016. The company thus connects its historical experience with its current commitment to the safety of marine infrastructures. <\/p>\n\n
