January 5, 2016
Ducab, the UAE-based leading manufacturer of high-quality cables and cabling products, has announced a new project with JOPETWIL Industrial Company LLC, a subsidiary of Control Contracting and Trading Co. (CCTC), on the Jack-Up Barge ‘JOPETWIL 300’.
The project marks Ducab’s first marine offshore project in Abu Dhabi, and features cables from Ducab’s MarineBICC product lines. Ducab’s MarineBICC products are customised for the marine and offshore industry, and are approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), DET Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL) and Lloyds Register.
The high-quality and long-life cables are suitable for extreme temperatures and moisture, and are braided for extra protection, without affecting the flexibility of the cable. In order to improve fire safety on-board ships, barges, and offshore platforms, the MarineBICC product range is also fire-safety-certified, fire -retardant and with low smoke emission.
The ‘JOPETWIL 300’ Jack-Up Barge is equipped with a hydraulic jacking system with four cylindrical legs and is capable of working in water depths of up to 40 meters. Ducab will provide cables to upgrade the barge to accommodate more personnel on board. The renovations will more than double the capacity accommodating 270 personnel on board, up from the previous capacity of 100.
