Our NOV Italian group, Remacut™, has secured the cable-lay equipment contract for Nexans' new cable-lay vessel (CLV). This achievement represents a significant milestone and underscores NOV's commitment to actively supporting its clients with the energy transition by enhancing its expertise in cable- lay systems.

Remacut offers one of the most advanced integrated cable-lay systems, featuring automated line control equipment capable of performing synchronized bundled-lay operations. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Nexans Aurora CLV, the newly constructed vessel will incorporate a 3,500t underdeck carousel to complement the 10,000t concentric carousel on deck. Tensioners and a capstan, forming the dual PRT & SBD firing lines, are strategically positioned within the dedicated cable-lay hangar of the vessel to serve the carousels.
