There are almost 200 faults on submarine fibre optic cables annually, and 74% of those are caused by third party activity such as fishing, anchoring, dredging or other marine user intervention.
Sharing seabed data with the relevant authorities and other seabed users in the form of cable awareness charts or flyers can help minimise that figure, ensuring other marine users are aware of the location of these important assets to avoid damaging them.
OceanIQ® can produce professional, branded cable awareness charts for issue by the client to authorities and vessel masters for this purpose. These charts can support a fishing liaison strategy to counter the most widespread cause of damage to cables.
For a wider reach, we can also set up and manage a dedicated website to host the charts in a convenient location. Please click here to view one of our cable awareness sites.
Customised GIS, custom cable charts, and installation chart updating are available to support the following:
