Offshore wind capacity and the number of interconnection projects are rising, so demand for cable repairs will escalate. But, beyond defects or accidents, new geopolitical tensions introduce additional risks to this critical infrastructure.
Using Spinergie’s latest Subsea Cable forecast, our upcoming webinar examines the evolving repair market and the main players. With an analysis of increasing demand for repair vessels, Spinergie experts Helia Briaud and Alanah Wickett provide a comprehensive outlook on how the industry is adapting and what to expect in the coming years.
Here’s a closer look at what you will learn:
The origins and evolution of cable failures
- A look at the vulnerabilities of this key infrastructure: what are the main causes of internal and external cable faults, which geographical areas see the most repairs and which shipping routes carry the most risk?
- How the number of apparent malicious acts is increasing and the challenges raised by limited surveillance for protection and diagnostics.
- The evolution of cable failure and what Spinergie’s tracking of repair campaigns has revealed about failure rates.
Cable repairs - what’s involved and who are the key players?
- Examination of what is entailed in a cable repair campaign from locating faults to the vessels involved to completed repair.
- A case study: an analysis of the Malta-Sicily Interconnector repair highlights the timeline and scale of the repair process.
- Cable Layer or Construction Vessel? The factors at play in determining which vessels are used for a repair scope.
Future demand
- Insight into Spinergie’s forecast of the vessel days that will be required for repairs.
- Is there enough vessel supply to cope with an increase in repair programs?
- What can we learn from the telecoms sector?
