Italian power line making as well as installment team Prysmian Group has actually selected the name Monna Lisa for the brand-new 171-meter cable-laying vessel that is presently incomplete inRomania The vessel is the sis ship to Prysmian’s Leonardo da Vinci cord layer.
“The name of the new ship has been chosen through an internal survey conducted among all 30,000 employees, similar to the process followed to name the Leonardo da Vinci. As a result, Prysmian chose Monna Lisa, which perfectly incorporates the strong connection with the sister vessel named after the Italian Renaissance artist, recognized worldwide for her innovations and highlighting true Italian genius,” Prysmian claimed.
“Just as Monna Lisa can be considered Leonardo’s art masterpiece, we wanted to create a strong link with our sailing flagship,” claimed the task supervisor Davide Leoni, going over the very early 16th-century picture by the Renaissance polymath which is extensively thought to illustrate the Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo as well as typically thought about one of the most well-known paint on the planet. This is one more name that has its origins in Prysmian’s background as well as task, being connected to creative thinking, ideas, quality as well as Italian identification, Prysmian claimed.
“It is an appropriate name for a vessel that will follow the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci, boasting the most advanced technology in the market, and will reinforce Prysmian’s EPCI approach offering engineering, manufacturing, installation and monitoring services, strengthening its leadership in the interconnection and offshore wind farm markets,” the Italian business included.
Prysmian determined to purchase the brand-new EUR240 million vessel quickly after her sis ship was introduced in 2022. Monna Lisa will certainly sign up with Prysmian’s installment fleet, raising the variety of cable-laying ships to 6 vessels (others are Ulisse, Cable Entreprise, Giulio Verne, Barbarossa, as well as Leonardo da Vinci).
A keel laying event of what will certainly be referred to as the Monna Lisa was kept in Tulcea, Romania, in April 2023 to note the birth of the brand-new vessel, which is being constructed by the VARD Group, a subsidiary of Italy- based Fincantieri Group.
The vessel will certainly match the ability as well as efficiency of the Leonardo da Vinci, while integrating some environment-friendly renovations such as reduced C02 discharges many thanks to the coast link, to feed the vessel with tidy power from coast throughout the filling at the manufacturing facilities, as well as a power storage space system with dual the battery ability, Prysmian claimed.
“The Monna Lisa will have several technical and sustainable solutions aimed at reducing the environmental footprint, while reaching the same loading capacity and installation flexibility of the Leonardo da Vinci, still unmatched in the cable-laying market,” claimed Leoni.
“The construction of the Monna Lisa, which is set to start commercial operation in early 2025, is moving along on schedule. The next steps will be erecting the outfitted hull units to form the ship blocks, followed later this year by the installation of the diesel generators,” described Leoni.
