Cable protection

The benefits of using our modern technology are abundant. Not only does our lay equipment deliver improved handling capacity with adjustable grip and precise squeeze on the cable, automated via advanced PLC software; it also offers additional cable protection through unparalleled safety features - like MDL's failsafe grip technology and self-centring track system, that prevent loss of product in critical situations.

Portable enabler

The integrated and compact design of our equipment allows for quick mobilisation and demobilisation and a reduced footprint. This means you can opt for a smaller back deck or perform more scopes during a single offshore campaign. Plus, the equipment is portable and road-transportable, allowing you to deploy it swiftly anywhere in the world. This guarantees a more efficient use of your time and translates into further cost efficiencies.

Ready-made solution

Our tried and tested portable equipment can be applied to your specific project requirements – from onshore spooling operations to offshore lay or recovery. Open yourself up to a wealth of possibilities with our versatile systems and proven cable lay track record, by using a bare deck vessel from your own fleet or one readily available in the market.

Onshore testing

If you’re looking for some extra peace of mind, try our onshore testing of your product sample before starting the offshore cable lay project. Using our purpose-built FAT testing facility in Peterhead, which replicates marine conditions, we ensure that the equipment is set up correctly and will perform as expected both in terms of hardware and software configuration before we deliver it to your site. This way you can rest assured that potential risks during your mooring installation are minimised.
