NYK Line Completes Design of Subsea Cable-Laying Vessel for Japan's HVDC Network
NYK Line has finalized the basic design of a subsea cable-laying vessel to support Japan's HVDC transmission system. The design received General Design Approval from ClassNK, confirming compliance with international standards. This initiative is part of Japan's RIGHT Project, which aims to enhance renewable energy integration through advanced transmission technologies. NYK collaborates with Sumitomo Electric and Furukawa Electric to develop the project, which has progressed since 2022 and is crucial for expanding offshore wind energy capabilities.

NYK Line has completed the basic design of a subsea cable-laying vessel to support Japan's high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission network, achieving General Design Approval from ClassNK. This vessel is part of the RIGHT Project, aimed at advancing HVDC technologies for renewable energy.
NYK is in a consortium with Sumitomo Electric and Furukawa Electric, developing cable protection methods and specialized vessels for Japan's offshore conditions. The project has progressed since 2022, with the recent GDA validating the design before final construction decisions. This development supports Japan's efforts to enhance offshore wind energy transmission.
