Power-cable carousel systems engineered for cable lay vessels — deployed across Power, Oil & Gas and Telecom for subsea cable, flexible pipeline and cable-repair operations.
Four carousels delivered: 2,500 / 3,000 / 7,000 / 9,000 MT across three cable-lay vessels
Engineering, fabrication, FAT and commissioning of four cable carousels across three vessels: the featured 7,000 MT spread for LS Marine Solution's GL 2030 DP2 Cable Lay Barge (carousel + containerised loading tower + integrated 2 MT LCE + top-loading cable highway), the 2,500 MT and 9,000 MT carousels for Shinfox Far East's SFE Adventurer cable-lay vessel, and the 3,000 MT underdeck carousel with spooling arm for the Longyin 9 hybrid CLV newbuild. All builds use the same highly-modular, precision-machined platform with CNC-machined load-bearing rings concentricity-checked under full cable stack.
Engineering, fabrication, FAT and offshore commissioning — all under one roof.

SFE Adventurer · vessel-of-opportunity package for any MPSV/OCV · DIMS-2500MT/CAR-001 · FAT 24 Jan 2025
Mid-capacity carousel originally built for the SFE Adventurer cable-lay vessel and engineered as a fully-modular vessel-of-opportunity package — the same 2,500 MT spread can be mobilised onto any suitable MPSV / OCV with adequate deck loading for short-campaign cable lay work. CNC-machined slewing ring and bolted modular shell strike fast on deck; 4 × 75 kW Smart Inverter Drives synchronised with the vessel's tensioner / LCE for precise lay-rate matching. Render shows an illustrative MPSV/OCV deployment configuration.

Longyin 9 · 10,000 MT hybrid cable lay vessel · underdeck installation with integrated spooling arm
Underdeck carousel package delivered for Longyin 9 — a 10,000 MT hybrid cable lay vessel. The 3,000 MT carousel sits below the main deck, lowering the vessel's centre of gravity for improved stability and freeing weather-deck real estate for lay-spread equipment. The spread is paired with a dedicated spooling arm for top-loading product directly into the carousel during transpooling and at-sea reload, with active pay-on / pay-off control synchronised to the carousel rotation.
