VARD successfully delivers advanced cable laying vessel to NCT Offshore

23 December 2024

We are pleased to announce the successful delivery of a state-of-the-art cable laying vessel to Denmark's subsea specialist NCT Offshore less than 2 years after the contract was signed.

This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration with NCT Offshore and underscores VARD's commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative maritime solutions.

NCT Offshore is a Danish vessel owner and operator in the offshore industry with roots deeply embedded in the renewable wind industry. The company focuses on safety, reliability, innovation, and adaptability, and pursues a strong team spirit and entrepreneurial company culture.

VARD 9 01 design
The newly delivered vessel, based on the VARD 9 01 design, has been specially designed and equipped for subsea cable laying operations.

It features excellent sea-keeping capabilities, superior station-keeping performance, and low fuel consumption, making it an ideal choice for efficient and sustainable operations.

In less than 18 months since the first steel was cut, the vessel has been assembled, outfitted, commissioned, and is ready to commence her maiden voyage towards Denmark where she will be further fitted and tested, including the remaining cable lay equipment, subsea package, and Seaonics W2W gangway system.
