It has eight point mooring system which can work even in harsh environmental conditions. Also, it has a capacity of transporting around 7,000 tonne of cable in nearly 30 m diameter carousel. Additionally, Ulisse can be equipped with a stern mounted cable chute and a carousel loading pick-up arm for surface lay operations.
With an investment of more than 20 million Euros, the group will now be backed by a fleet of three vessels including Ulisse, Giulio Verne, and Cable Enterprise.
