In addition to the UT-Design itself, many Rolls-Royce products are extremely well adapted to cable-laying vessels, and typically customers specify a design and equipment package.

The UT 757 has been developed to meet fibre optic cable laying and maintenance worldwide.

The equipment to be supplied usually includes the main engine and the propulsion system, whether conventional shaft lines and controllable pitch propellers or azimuting thrusters. Rudders, steering gear, tunnel and swing-up thrusters and stabilising systems.
