MV SIA is the newest cable-laying vessel from CT Offshore, spe-cialized in installing and maintaining offshore cables for wind tur-bine farms that deliver environmentally friendly energy in the years to come. CT Offshore has converted a 1978 ferry into a cable-laying vessel with all the latest equipment for installing and maintaining cables between offshore wind turbines and the elec-tricity network on shore. To hold the SIA in position with a precision of 200mm the Dutch Thruster Group supplied 7 GME e-motor driv-en 200kW tunnel thrusters. Together with an existing thruster of 400kW the com-bined power of 1.8 MW, in full integration with a Navis dynamic positioning system, navigates the vessel along the pre-programmed route.
