Jan De Nul Group announced Thursday that it will be installing two 115 kV cables for the Marjan Gas Oil Separation Plan (GOSP's) project executed by McDermott.

These cables, provided by Nexans Norway and with a total cable weight of 8,500 tonnes, have been loaded and will now be transported and installed in one signle trip with Jan De Nul Group's Cable Laying Vessel Isaac Newton. The vessel, the latest addition to the Jan De Nul Group fleet, is the largest Cable Laying Vessel of its kind and is capable of transporting and installing over 10,000 tonnes of cable per single trip.

The Marjan GOSP's project is the first project for the Isaac Newton, and will involve two out of a total of five power cables installed for Aramco's Marjan Field by the company in 2015 and 2016. For the Marjan Zuluf project, executed by Saipem, Jan De Nul Group has in the meantime 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.
