KENC delivers semi-automated boat landing system for Nexans’ CLV Nexans Electra

marter and more efficient offshore operations

The new boat landing system combines safety, efficiency and ease of use to support smoother 
offshore operations. Designed with the crew and day-to-day operations in mind, the solution
makes deploying the boat landing simpler and more efficient. KENC developed a semi-automated 
system that reduces the need for manual handling and allows the crew to operate the system
safely and efficiently.

Robust engineering, simple operation

For the movement mechanism, KENC developed a mechanical solution using gearboxes and a
compact electric motor. This allows the boat landing to be moved in a controlled and safe manner 
during deployment and securing. The system is designed to handle the forces generated during 
operation while keeping the operation simple for the crew. Throughout the design process, KENC 
worked closely with DNV to ensure that the relevant standards and requirements were applied to 
the specific solution. “What makes this project unique is that we transformed a traditional, 
manual operation into a semi-automated solution that is simple and safe to operate,” says Daniël 
Falkmann, Lead Engineer at KENC. “It was great to work together with Nexans and DNV to 
develop a solution that is both technically robust and practical to use.”

Crane-free operation

One of the key benefits of the new solution is that the boat landing can be deployed and secured 
independently by a single operator, without the need for the vessel’s crane or additional rigging.
This makes deck operations more efficient and gives the crew more time and capacity to focus on 
other critical tasks.

The boat landing system has been successfully delivered and put into operation. With this
solution, KENC has provided a practical and reliable improvement to the daily operations on board 
Nexans’ CLV Nexans Electra.
