Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces the delivery of the record-breaking vessel Leonardo da Vinci. A unique asset to be added to the existing Group’s state-of-the-art vessel fleet, Leonardo da Vinci will allow more efficient and sustainable project execution for the development of smarter and greener power grids worldwide to support the energy transition.

“Leonardo da Vinci is the most efficient cable layer in the world and from now onwards it will support the Group’s long-term growth in the submarine cable installation business. It will be a game changer in strengthening our leadership in the interconnection and offshore wind farm markets,” stated Valerio Battista, CEO, Prysmian Group.

The first mission assigned to the Leonardo da Vinci vessel is the installation of the Viking Link submarine cable connection between the UK and Denmark, the world’s longest power interconnection. The vessel has just arrived at the Arco Felice plant — one of Prysmian’s four centers of excellence for the production of submarine cables — in order to load the cable to be installed.
