AERON signs contract to design and deliver complete HVAC system to Nexans new DP3 cable laying vessel

Aeron has signed a contract with Ulstein Verft to design and deliver the complete HVAC-R system for Nexans new DP3 cable laying vessel. The vessel is a ST-297 CLV designed by Skipsteknisk AS and an updated version of the Nexans Aurora, delivered in 2021.

“In 2019, we were selected as the HVAC supplier for Ulsteins NB 314, Nexans Aurora. To be selected again for the new updated DP3 cable laying vessel is a great honor,” says Jan Kåre Hansen, Director Marine at Aeron AS.

The new cable laying vessel is a state-of-the-art cable laying vessel that is designed to meet the demanding requirements of the offshore energy industry. The vessel will be equipped with a range of advanced features, including a split turntable on deck capable of holding up to 10,000t of cable, an under-deck turntable with a 3,500t cable capacity, and a fiber optic basket holding 450t. The vessel will be able to operate in challenging weather conditions and will be capable of laying up to four cables simultaneously.

The vessel will be delivered from Ulstein in 2026.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
