The official keel laying of NKT’s new cable-laying vessel, NKT Eleonora, has taken place at one of the Norwegian shipyard VARD’s facilities in Romania. This ceremony marks the official beginning of construction.
Once in operation in 2027, NKT Eleonora will join NKT’s existing vessel, NKT Victoria, as a next-generation cable layer. Equipped with three turntables, she will have a cable-laying capacity of 23,000 tonnes and will host a wide range of subsea tools for precise installation and servicing of offshore cables.
