Motive secures first rental for new 50Te Tensioner
14 NOVEMBER 2024
Motive’s recently acquired 50Te WLL 4-track Tensioner, part of the fleet expansion following the acquisition of Aquatic, has already proven its value.
Spotted by a client during a cable loadout at the Port of Blyth, this state-of-the-art tensioner was immediately recognised as the ideal solution for an upcoming cable offload project in the Caribbean.

Engineered for safety and efficiency, this tensioner is part of Motive’s growing fleet of horizontal tensioners, with capacities currently available up to 65Te WLL. Designed to support critical cable lay operations, it’s a prime example of the robust and versatile cable handling equipment Motive offers.
With minimal lead time, Motive quickly mobilised a comprehensive cable handling package, including the 50Te Tensioner, hydraulic winch packages, and a roller box cable highway. Within just 14 days, the equipment was transported to the project site, ready to go to work on a cable offload.
A team of multi-disciplined Motive Technicians joined the vessel in the Caribbean to oversee transpooling operations, and assist with certification and inspection requirements.
