CABLE ONE - Rebuilding and transfer to Danish flag of GRAMPIAN WOOD.

M/S "CABLE ONE" ex "GRAMPIAN WOOD" was purchased in May 2000 from North Star Shipping Group in Aberdeen as a stand-by / rescue vessel. The vessel was originally built as a trawler in Goole in 1976 and has been used as a trawler until 1991.

M/S "CABLE ONE" has now been rebuilt as a cable-laying and diving support vessel at Assens Shipyard A/S and was delivered in August 2001 to the owner: Jydsk Dykkerfirma ApS, Nybovej 8, 7500 Holstebro


The vessel is to be used for laying out and embedding submarine cables and pipelines. However,
as the ship is also fully equipped as an offshore diving vessel, it can carry out all kinds of diving assignments.

with the following main installations:
complete new accommodation for 15 persons
complete new hydraulic system with 4 pcs warping winches, A-frame winch
and aux. winch
