Be proactive to reduce the risk of damage
Subsea telecommunication cables constitute a backbone of the global communications network, and subsea power transmission cables play a key role in current and planned transnational infrastructures which gradually will integrate EU power markets and supplies.
Despite regulation of activities in protection zones around cable infrastructures, damage caused by vessels occurs e.g. inflicted by bottom trawling or anchors. The economic and societal consequences can be significant.
The solution for subsea cable protection increases awareness in the surveillance zones, and it provides the intelligence required to optimize preventive measures at sea level and focus inspection and maintenance efforts at the seabed.
