New cable layers for a booming market:

Singapore's Megamas reveals plans for two cable ship newbuilds - Splash247

A shortage of cable layers is expected over the decade on the back of the growing offshore wind sector and aging fleet in the submarine cable industry. Cabling specialists have already moved to secure additional tonnage. France’s Nexans booked a large DP3 cable layer at Ulstein for delivery in 2026. Italy’s Prysmian is building a ship at Vard for delivery in 2025, while Danish cable maker NKT plans to have a newbuild ready by 2027.
