New guidelines published for defining mechanical limits of subsea cables
- Category: Industry News
A new standardised approach to quantifying the mechanical limits of subsea cables has been published to help reduce uncertainty around cable performance in the offshore wind industry.

Global Underwater Hub publishes guidelines for undersea cable monitoring
- Category: Industry News
Global Underwater Hub (GUH) has released new guidelines aimed at improving the monitoring of undersea cables, with the goal of increasing the resilience of critical offshore energy infrastructure.
