Cable Ship Design

Laying cables on the seabed is a job which requires a great deal of skill from the people doing the job, but it also requires the right tools for the specific operation.

One of the most important tools for cable laying at sea is the floating platform from which the operation takes place, be it a ship or a barge.

If it takes experienced people to carry out the cable laying, it also takes experienced naval architects to design the cable laying ship or barge. ShipTech A/S has the experience to do this.

Design of cable laying ships is an area where ShipTech had specialist knowledge. Naval Architect Alex Hjortnæs had a major role in the design of the C/S PETER FABER which was built in 1982 for TeleDanmark, the Danish telecommunications company.

Since 1985 ShipTech has carried out more than 60 large and small design projects on cable laying vessels.
