Specialized motors for subsea cable-laying vessel
Rotor, part of the WEG Group, has contributed to a major subsea cable-laying project. Working closely with Remacut, part of the NOV Group, Rotor supplied 54 highly specialized motors for a vessel that will lay energy cables across the ocean floor. This marks Rotor’s second collaboration on a vessel of this type, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in the marine industry.
The vessel, currently in production, is designed to transport, store and lay subsea cables for renewable energy infrastructure. The motors supplied by Rotor play a key role in ensuring the reliable operation of equipment such as carousels, tensioners and capstans used for handling and deploying the cables. These cables, weighing thousands of tonnes, must be laid precisely and continuously while the vessel is in motion.
The project involved the supply of 54 highly specialised motors ranging from 15.6kW to 87kW and with frame sizes from 132 to 315. Each motor was meticulously designed to meet the specific demands of the subsea cable-laying vessel.
