Tersan Shipyard has held the keel laying ceremony for the cable laying vessel InterOcean, designated Hull No. NB1139, for LS Marine Solution.

The ceremony marked the vessel’s formal move into the construction phase. The source also described InterOcean as a next-generation cable laying vessel, but gave no further specification on the ship’s design, size or delivery schedule.

Keel laying is the point at which the vessel’s construction is formally started. In this case, that step has now been taken for InterOcean at Tersan.
