Nexans’ New Cable Layers at Ulstein Verft Choose Blue Ctrl Technology

Blue Ctrl AS in Ålesund has secured a contract to supply an Automation and Power Management System to Ulstein Verft for their upcoming vessel, New Build 317, commissioned by Nexans Marine Operations AS. This vessel, a sophisticated cable layer, is based on the ST-297 CLV design by Skipsteknisk and represents an advancement of the Nexans Aurora.

The comprehensive package provided by Blue Ctrl will include an Alarm and Monitoring System (AMS) and an Integrated Automation System (IAS), as well as a Power & Energy Management System. This system aims to minimize consumption and reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, making it an environmentally friendly option.

The X-CONNECT platform, which serves as the central nervous system onboard, allows for data capture and operational optimization for shipowners. The system also includes the BLUE BOX, which organizes and transmits data to a cloud service for immediate access to crucial information through a real-time portal.

Blue Ctrl is delighted to have been chosen as a supplier by Ulstein and Nexans, marking one of their largest deliveries. Ulstein Verft’s Managing Director, Lars Lühr Olsen, expressed satisfaction with the selection of Blue Ctrl as the system supplier, noting the positive experience with their X-CONNECT platform in previous vessels.
