Drone Flies Over Worlds Most Advanced Cable Laying Vessel - Leonardo Da Vinci

Drone flies over the worlds most advance cable laying vessel. The Leonardo Da Vinci arrived in the River Tyne on Friday 24th March 2023. The ship’s cable handling and installation equipment have been entirely developed and designed by Prysmian to boost its capacity of submarine cable installation. Indeed, it will be possible to achieve higher precision operations and to allow more cables to be transported thanks to the largest cable loading capability. Once completed, the new vessel will be the most advanced cable laying vessel thanks to a series of cutting-edge features: 2 rotating platforms of 7,000 and 10,000 tons to ensure the highest carousel capacity in the market. The vessel is equipped to carry out the deepest power cable installations of up to 3,000 metres also thanks to the new generation cable technology armoured with composite material, based on aramid fibers. The capstan capacity of up to 100 tons is double the industry average. Bollard pull of about 200 tons, more than double that of the Giulio Verne, it has the highest pulling/towing capacity in its class. DP3 system. The vessel will be classified for improved redundancy of power generation and control systems for back-up dynamic positioning. Hybrid propulsion with 6 generators and 2 Energy Storage Systems (750 kW each) for a total of 21 MW. The battery packs accumulate ‘peak shaving’ when energy demands are high, allowing the vessel to a limited use of generators in specific operative conditions, thus resulting in lower fuel consumption and emissions. Designed with an operational autonomy of 90 days and a transit speed above 14 knots that can lead to a reduced transportation time from the factory to the site, improving overall project efficiency. Two enclosed hangars for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) A helideck certified for take-off and landing of Sikorsky S92 type (18 passengers) and AW 101.   • Prysmian Group presents Leonardo Da Vinci
