Jan De Nul launches its newest cable-laying vessel: the Fleeming Jenkin. The company will use it to install subsea cables for the transmission of renewable energy. The vessel has a loading capacity of 28,000 tonnes, making it the world’s largest of its kind. Delivery is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
The launch took place by flooding the dry dock at the CMHI Haimen shipyard in China. The final vessel construction phase now begins, including sea trials.
Wouter Vermeersch, Director Subsea Cables Offshore Energy at Jan De Nul
The Fleeming Jenkin combines all the cable installation expertise we have built up over the past fifteen years. The entire vessel and the technologies on board were designed by our in-house specialists. The result is a vessel that operates very efficiently, reducing both the cost price and the ecological footprint of our projects.
