Jan De Nul’s new multipurpose vessel Isaac Newton was launched at the Croatian shipyard Uljanik Brodogradiliste on Saturday, March 7.
The vessel can be deployed on a variety of projects: installing subsea cables, trench dredging and subsea rock installation.
In cable-installation mode, Isaac Newton will be capable of transporting and laying cable in a single length with a total weight of approximately 10,000 tonnes.
The company said that the construction of multipurpose vessels allows it to better meet the clients’ requests to have a project executed by one contractor or one vessel and to reduce the mobilization costs for its clients.
