Jan De Nul Expands Use of Wirescan Technology on the Entire Cable-Laying Fleet
PRESS RELEASE
Wirescan, a Norwegian specialist in cable condition monitoring, and Jan De Nul, a global leader in offshore energy, proudly announce the successful outcome of the two-year collaboration to implement real-time cable integrity monitoring during offshore cable installation.
Building on the proven performance of Wirescan, Jan De Nul is now expanding deployment of its technology across its entire cable-laying fleet.
A Milestone in Offshore Cable Installation
Since 2023, Jan De Nul has used Wirescan Digital, our cloud-based monitoring platform powered by proprietary LIRA® technology, on their cable-laying vessels for real-time insight into cable condition throughout handling and installation.
The solution was successfully used in several subsea cable installation projects including Greenlink (UK) and Lightning (UAE), delivering real-time insight into cable condition throughout handling and installation.
As key benefit the Wirescan Technology provides a transparent and tracible cable condition history, suitable for both HVDC as well as HVAC subsea power cables. Thanks to the real-time monitoring, Wirescan Digital allows for a continuous quality assurance of the cable integrity from the moment the cable is leaving the factory during the load-out operations until completion of the cable-laying process.
As offshore wind projects scale globally, technologies like Wirescan Digital will play a critical role in ensuring subsea cable reliability — minimizing downtime, protecting assets, and supporting the long-term success of the energy transition.
A Proven Commercial Solution
“Real-time monitoring through Wirescan Digital has become a key enabler for more efficient and secure cable installation,” said Morten Huseby, CEO of Wirescan AS. “Our collaboration with Jan De Nul has been instrumental in validating the commercial value of our technology in a demanding offshore environment. We’re proud to see it now adopted as part of their standard operations.”
Driving Industry Innovation
“The decision to expand Wirescan Digital over our entire cable-laying fleet enables improved process control through real-time precise monitoring and reflects our continued commitment to innovation and excellence as world builders of the transition to renewable energy”, said Maarten Lozie, Manager Electrical Department Offshore Energy at Jan De Nul. “By working with leading technology partners like Wirescan, Jan De Nul delivers advanced, data-driven solutions that enhance service quality and improve reliability for our clients.”
