Jan De Nul Group will install two additional power cables for Saudi Aramco’s Marjan Field, offshore Saudi Arabia, in the Persian Gulf.
For the Marjan gas oil separation plant project executed by McDermott, Jan De Nul Group will install two 115 kV cables, supplied by Nexans Norway. Both cables, with a total cable weight of 8500-tonne, have been loaded and will now be transported and installed with Jan De Nul Group's cable laying vessel Isaac Newton.
The Isaac Newton can transport and install over 10,000-tonne of cable per single trip. The largest out of two carousels on board has a carrying capacity up to 7400-tonne, and will transport and install the longest and heaviest of the two cables, with a length of 87km and a weight of 7300-tonne.
Previously, for the Marjan Zuluf project executed by Saipem, Jan De Nul Group had installed three power cables with its cable laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh. The largest 115 kV cable was loaded last September in Italy, from Prysmian's facilities in Naples.
