Jan De Nul continues to invest in its fleet for subsea energy cables

Posted on March 11, 2026

Energy independence is a global priority, and Jan De Nul is actively expanding its offshore energy fleet to meet this challenge. Two large vessels for the installation of submarine cables are currently under construction. Last year the company also announced the order of a rock installation vessel to protect those cables. The fleet will now be further expanded with two additional vessels, specifically designed to safely bury submarine cables in the seabed.

Submarine cables are a crucial component for exporting energy produced at sea. Energy cables are also the missing link in connecting local and national electricity grids.

Wouter Vermeersch, Director Subsea Cables Offshore Energy at Jan De Nul:

With the Fleeming Jenkin and the William Thomson, we will soon expand our fleet with two XL vessels for the installation of subsea cables. Investing in vessels that can protect those same cables is a logical next step. Last year, we announced the rock installation vessel George W. Goethals, which protects cables and other energy infrastructure with a protective rock layer. Now we are also expanding our fleet with vessels designed to bury cables safely in the seabed.
