Jan De Nul confirmed the Osbit-built Crayfish trencher, delivered by end-2026 and operating from 2027, will work from converted vessel Henry Darcy.
- Burial to 5 m in water depths up to 200 m
- Modular, containerised design; deployment both offshore and nearshore
- First role: TenneT "2 GW" programme shallow-water cable burying
- Pumps located on Henry Darcy instead of the machine, enabling very shallow-water work
Context
The Crayfish was presented by Jan De Nul on 14 September as a vessel due in 2026 for 2027 TenneT cable work, and Osbit's contract landed the same week.
