A major milestone has just been achieved in the offshore energy industry. Belgian marine construction firm Jan De Nul has launched the world’s largest and most advanced cable-laying vessel, designed to transform how offshore wind farms are connected to onshore power grids.
Unveiled at the CMHI Haimen shipyard in Jiangsu, China, the new vessel named Fleeming Jenkin, boasts an extraordinary 28,000-tonne cable-carrying capacity, making it the most capable ship of its kind ever built.

The Royal Navy is set to receive two new patrol boats from UK based boat builder, Marine Specialised Technology (MST). They were awarded a £9.9-million ($12.9 million) contract to build the new boats which will replace the Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron fast patrol craft.
According to Marine Specialised Technology (MST), construction started last month (July 2020) and they will provide four years of local in-service support. The first vessel is due in late 2021 and the second will be ready in the first quarter of 2022.
