Norwegian shipbuilder Ulstein Verft has chosen load-handling firm Palfinger Marine to supply a deck equipment package for cabling specialist Nexans' cable-lay vessel Aurora.
The package includes abandon and recovery winches, A-frame, kunckle-boom cranes and overhead travelling gantries.
Aurora was designed by Ålesund, Norway-based Skipsteknisk. It is 150 m long by 31 m wide, has a dwt of 17,000 and can accomodate 90 people. It has a turntable with a large cable capacity of 10,000 tonnes.
"We have been working on this project for almost two years and most of the equipment has been tailored to fit the vessel," said Palfinger Marine sales director Sverre Mowinckle-Nilsen. "We are very proud for being chosen once again by Ulstein Verft for delivering our high-quality equipment and we are looking forward to working closely with the yard and owner on this project."
