Neptune Marine Converts Barge into Cable Repair Vessel

Neptune Marine announce the successful conversion of the existing anchored barge NP-459 into the versatile cable repair vessel “CURO” for their client, N-Sea Group.

This multi-purpose DP2 vessel featuring a 50-ton offshore knuckleboom crane is now equipped to support a wide range of operations, including salvage, offshore accommodation, cable repair, and renewables support. The vessel’s expansive free deck space and large accommodation make it highly adaptable for various complex maritime tasks.

Key features of the CURO include an innovative cable repair spread with a dual basket carousel, designed to repair and replace HVAC and HVDC inter-array cables, export cables, and inter-connectors.

The vessel’s 8-point mooring system, combined with its DP2 capabilities, allows it to operate efficiently year-round in both very shallow (beachable) and deep-water conditions.
