The Arrival of Monna Lisa Cable Laying Vessel to Prysmian’s Fleet
The latest addition to Prysmian’s fleet, the Monna Lisa cable laying vessel (CLV), has officially joined the ranks after successfully completing sea trials. Built by Norwegian shipbuilder Vard, this 171-meter-long vessel is set to match the capabilities of Prysmian’s flagship CLV, the Leonardo da Vinci, in terms of capacity and performance.
State-of-the-Art Features
Monna Lisa is equipped with two carousels boasting capacities of 7,000 and 10,000 tons, making it the vessel with the highest capacity in the current market. This allows for reduced transportation time from the factory to the installation site, enhancing efficiency in cable laying operations.
In addition to its impressive capacity, Monna Lisa incorporates several green features aimed at reducing its environmental impact. These include a high-voltage shore connection to power the vessel with clean energy during loading, a 3MWh energy storage system with double the battery capacity, and diesel generators capable of running on biodiesel blends.
Enhanced Performance
With its advanced technology and sustainable design, Monna Lisa is poised to set new standards in cable laying operations. By combining cutting-edge features with eco-friendly practices, the vessel not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces its carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable maritime industry.
Continued Innovation
Prysmian’s investment in state-of-the-art vessels like Monna Lisa demonstrates its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the field of cable laying. By pushing the boundaries of technology and environmental responsibility, the company is paving the way for a more efficient and eco-friendly approach to submarine cable installation.
With Monna Lisa now part of Prysmian’s fleet, the company is poised to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future, setting new standards for cable laying operations and environmental stewardship.
