The Isaac Newton is a special ship for laying submarine cables . The ship can also be used for other offshore work.
Ship description
The ship was built in 2015 at the Uljanik Brodogradiliste shipyard in Croatia .
The six diesel units generate a total output of 12,330 kW, 6,000 kW of which are used for propulsion. The Isaac Newton thus achieves a nominal speed of 12 knots and enables a bollard pull of around 100 tons. For maneuvering and dynamic positioning (DP2), 3,000 kW are available for the two bow thrusters and 2,000 kW for the extendable thruster .
The ship sailing under the flag of Luxembourg is equipped with a helipad.
Work ship for various offshore work
The Isaac Newton has a wide range of equipment and, in addition to laying cables, enables other work for various offshore projects. This includes in particular the burying, stabilization and ballasting when laying underwater pipelines , underwater cables and underwater supply lines. In addition, there are facilities for seabed preparation for the construction of foundations for transformer and HVDC platforms and offshore projects in the oil and gas sector.
In the "Cable laying" mode, two drums for the cables and the necessary auxiliary equipment are installed. A rotating cable drum with 4,500 tons of cable capacity is then located below deck and one with 7,400 tons of cable capacity on deck.
In the "stone filling" mode, two containers for around 10,000 tons of rock are installed, consisting of a rear dump device with a capacity of 3,000 tons and a middle dump device with a capacity of 7,000 tons. Each pouring device has an excavator and a downpipe so that the rocks can be positioned in the right place up to a depth of 200 meters.
