LS Marine Solution has upgraded its submarine cable installation vessel GL2030, expanding its ability to take on large-scale offshore wind and high-voltage direct current transmission projects as demand grows for undersea energy infrastructure.
LS Marine Solution said Wednesday it completed modifications to GL2030, increasing the vessel’s cable loading capacity from 4,000 tons to 7,000 tons.
The upgrade allows the vessel to carry more submarine cable in a single voyage, enabling continuous installation over routes longer than 100 kilometers while reducing the number of trips required and improving construction efficiency for major projects.
The company said the investment is aimed at responding to rising demand for submarine power infrastructure, including offshore wind farms and HVDC networks.
