The Netherlands-based shipbuilder and designer Neptune Marine has commenced construction of a new cable maintenance vessel.

Previous Projects by Neptune Marine
To remind, in the summer of 2024, Neptune Marine and N-Sea launched what is said to be the first dedicated cable repair and installation vessel, following the conversion of an anchored barge.
This January, Neptune Marine held the keel laying ceremony for the hybrid survey and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) support vessel it is building for N-Sea. The delivery is expected in the first quarter of 2026, with the vessel set to be operational by mid-March 2026.
