Norway's Brunvoll will supply propulsion and manoeuvering systems for a new Nexans cable-layer at Ulstein Verft.

The ST-297 vessel is due in 2021.

Brunvoll is providing three azimuth propulsion units, two tunnel thrusters and a retractable azimuth thruster.

The newbuilding contract was signed in July.

The 17,000-dwt vessel is designed to work in harsh environments and can accommodate 90 people.
