Jan De Nul has partnered with Ulstein Design & Solutions to design a new subsea trenching vessel for its offshore fleet, scheduled for delivery in 2028. This vessel will be based on a proven platform tailored for large-scale trenching operations, which involve creating protective channels on the seabed for pipelines, power cables, and telecommunications lines.
The design will feature a modular configuration, enabling versatility across various offshore sectors, including energy and construction. Specifically adapted for subsea trenching, the vessel will utilize the ULSTEIN X-BOW hull design to enhance performance by reducing wave resistance and fuel consumption while improving crew comfort.
Additionally, the vessel will incorporate an ultra-low emission system capable of removing up to 99% of nanoparticles from exhaust gases through advanced filtration and nitrogen oxide reduction technologies. It will also be compatible with biofuel and green methanol, significantly lowering carbon emissions and complying with European Stage V and EURO VI emission standards.
Muysewinkel Thomas, Project Manager Vessel Construction at Jan De Nul, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating that Ulstein’s proven designs will effectively integrate operational requirements, ensuring a reliable and tailored vessel for both clients and crew.
