P&O Maritime Logistics to Convert MCV to Cable Lay Vessel

P&O Maritime Logistics, a leading provider of maritime services globally, today announced plans to convert one of its Multi-Carrying Vessels (MCV’s) into a Cable-Laying Vessel (CLV).

Powered by alternative energy, the vessel will be the first-of-its-kind within the company’s fast-expanding portfolio of specialised offshore products and services.

The vessel features an ultra-shallow draft, engineered grounding capability, and has a 4,000t cable load capacity

Set to start operations in the third quarter of 2024, the conversion aligns with P&O Maritime Logistics’ commitment to decarbonising the industry by progressively moving towards zero-carbon operations. To achieve these ambitious goals, the company’s newly converted vessel will be equipped with a state-of-the-art battery system, as well as a low fuel consumption propulsion layout for green methanol fuel.
