Successful Inauguration for our new pride, the CLV Nexans Electra

A next-generation cable laying vessel designed for the energy transition

Already christened earlier in 2026, the CLV Nexans Electra now joins Nexans’ operational fleet as a fully commissioned asset, ready to deliver critical subsea cable infrastructure across the globe.

Matching the size of CLV Nexans Aurora at 149.9 meters in length and 31 meters in width, Nexans Electra represents a significant leap in installation capacity:

• Three turntables with a combined capacity of 13,500 tons
• Capability to lay up to four cables simultaneously
• Full suite of advanced subsea installation tools, including burial and protection systems
• Hybrid power system compatible with biodiesel blends, supporting reduced operational emissions

This exceptional versatility enables the vessel to execute both large-scale offshore wind developments and long-distance HVDC interconnectors, the critical infrastructure backbone of the global energy transition.

Strengthening one of the world’s most advanced cable-laying fleets

With the addition of Nexans Electra, Nexans further reinforces its world-class offshore fleet, now comprising three cable laying vessels capable of tackling the most complex subsea projects on the planet. Alongside CLV Nexans Aurora and C/S Nexans Skagerrak, this fleet underpins Nexans’ ability to execute large-scale projects at scale and depth, across both interconnectors and offshore wind.

Innovation, sustainability, and partnership at the heart of Electra

Beyond its technical performance, CLV Nexans Electra reflects the Group’s drive to combine operational excellence and environmental responsibility. Its hybrid propulsion system is designed to reduce emissions during installation operations, while its advanced installation technologies ensure precision and reliability in even the most demanding offshore environments.

The inauguration event in Oslo brought together customers, partners, public authorities, and employees, reflecting the shared effort that a project of this scale demands.
