Global Cable Laying Vessel Market Report - Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Outlook - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

Market Research Reports | Q1 2024 | Report ID: BR0540

About the Report

In recent years, the global cable laying market has witnessed remarkable growth, fueled by several key factors. These include the expanding telecommunications infrastructure, the widespread utilization of subsea cables in the offshore oil and gas industry to connect platforms with mainland power grids, and the increasing deployment of offshore wind energy projects, which have led to a substantial increase in the demand for cable laying vessels.

 

However, the global cable laying vessel market faces restraints like high capital investment, strict environmental regulations, economic uncertainty, competition, and substantial maintenance costs.
 

Driver

Increasing Deployment of Offshore Wind Energy Projects

Amidst the pressing concern of climate change, countries worldwide are increasingly focusing on the offshore wind sector as a potential solution. Governments globally are setting ambitious climate goals, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, shift away from fossil fuels, and attain carbon neutrality. These commitments are frequently part of broader international agreements like the Paris Agreement.

 

Policymakers and energy planners are drawn to the offshore wind sector for its immense potential. Unlike onshore wind farms, which may encounter land availability and community opposition issues, offshore wind farms benefit from abundant and consistent wind resources in open waters. This strategic positioning provides various advantages, including stronger and more reliable winds, minimized visual impact, and the opportunity to construct larger and more powerful turbines.

 

After COP26, there has been a notable surge in offshore wind ambition globally. In response to the energy crisis triggered by the Ukraine-Russia war, especially in Europe, numerous governments are either establishing new targets or raising existing ones. Offshore wind is recognized as a vital solution to bolster energy security and combat climate change. This rapid expansion is driven by technological advancements and growing public demand for clean and sustainable energy sources.
 

For instance, the European Commission's REPowEU plan aims to free Europe from Russian fossil fuels before 2030. Embraced by Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the Esbjerg Declaration sets an ambitious target of achieving 150 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050. 

 

Moreover, the UK Government has increased its offshore wind target by 10 GW, aiming for 50 GW by 2030. Beyond Europe, countries like Vietnam are actively pursuing significant offshore wind expansions as part of their Power Development Plan 8 (PDP8). These initiatives reflect a growing recognition of offshore wind as a key solution to enhance energy security and combat climate change on a global scale.

 

In 2022, global offshore wind capacity experienced a substantial increase of 9.4 GW, largely driven by China's impressive growth of 6.8 GW. Although the new capacity added in 2022 was slightly lower than in 2021, primarily due to the expiration of the Chinese feed-in tariff, it still exceeded the capacity added in 2020.

 

Global Annual Offshore Wind Power Installations

 

Governments are actively fostering the growth of the offshore wind sector by implementing supportive policies, providing incentives, and streamlining regulatory processes. Additionally, they are making investments in research and development to drive technological advancements, aiming to make offshore wind energy more cost-effective and efficient. 

 

In January 2022, a noteworthy milestone was reached in the Brazilian power generation industry as the President of the Republic approved and published Decree No. 10,946/2022. This regulatory innovation marks the establishment of a framework for exploring offshore wind energy in Brazil. The decree is a crucial step towards unlocking the country's potential for harnessing wind resources from its offshore areas and signifies Brazil's commitment to embracing renewable energy sources to meet its power needs.

 

Hence, with the growing offshore wind energy market, the demand for cable laying vessels is expected to increase in the future, as nations around the world have expedited the deployment of renewable energy in their energy plans. 

 

Current Scenario of Cable Laying Vessels Market

The growing demand for submarine cables is outpacing the availability of cable ships for deployment and maintenance, leading to longer project timelines and increased costs for cable owners. The capacity crunch is attributed to factors like the retirement of older cable ships, limited new build options, and the rising complexity of submarine cable projects. With only a few newer vessels available among the approximately 60 vessels worldwide, the average age of cable ships is 25 years. Building a new cable ship can cost between USD 200 million and USD 500 million, and typical cable projects take around two years to complete.

 

The capacity crunch is a significant challenge for the submarine cable industry, but potential solutions, like innovative technologies for more efficient cable laying, may help address the issue in the future.

 

Recent Developments

  • In July 2023, Nexans SA, a France-based company, revealed its plans for expanding its presence in the offshore wind and interconnection market. The company intends to achieve this expansion by incorporating a third generation cable laying vessel into its fleet. This strategic move signifies Nexans' commitment to meet the growing demand for cable laying services in the offshore energy sector and strengthen its position as a key player in the industry.
  • In June 2023, Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) made a significant advancement in the cable laying industry by launching a new cable installation vessel named "Ile d'Yeu." The inauguration took place at the Port of La Rochelle in France. This new vessel marks ASN's seventh cable ship in total, and it is the company's fifth ship dedicated to laying cables. 
  • Cable supplier NKT AS has announced its investment plans totaling €1 billion. The company intends to utilize this significant investment to establish a new factory and procure a state-of-the-art cable-laying vessel. This strategic move is expected to enhance NKT's manufacturing capacity and efficiency while bolstering its capabilities in subsea cable operations. 
  • Prysmian Group, a global cable enterprise, is investing approximately €200 million in a new cutting-edge cable-laying vessel and EUR 40 million for cable equipment adjustments. The vessel will be fully operational by Q1 2025, reinforcing Prysmian's project execution capabilities and EPCI approach.
  • XLCC, a UK-based HVDC cable company, has successfully concluded model testing on its recently unveiled cable laying vessel (CLV). The vessel, designed by salt ship design and announced last year, is specifically intended for deployment in the renewable energy sector.
  • VARD, a subsidiary of the Fincantieri group, has secured a contract valued at approximately EUR 200 million to design and construct a new cable laying vessel for Prysmian Group. The specialized vessel will be equipped with DP3 positioning and seakeeping system, while the maximum transit speed will exceed 16 knots.
