Glovis Lighthouse, the first vessel in its series of 10,800 CEU dual-fuel LNG Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC) newbuilds, has embarked on its maiden voyage.
The vessel is the second of two next-generation InTUItion class cruise ships, designed for dual-fuel operation (Liquefied Natural Gas – LNG and Marine Gas Oil – MGO).
Thanks to their large loading capacity, the vessel takes longer cables on board in a single piece and bridges longer distances with as few subsea cable connections as possible.
The project comprises partial removal of ageing subsea power cables between Lødingen and Barøya, and the installation of four new 170kV submarine cables bundled with fibre optic lines
The SMART Cable sensor system is poised to transform global tsunami and earthquake early warning, protect critical telecommunications infrastructure, and supply essential ocean data.
