Offshore Cables

nek-606-offshore-cable

Application:

The offshore HV & LV power cables are used for electrical power transmission on Drilling ships & drilling platforms ( jack up, semi-submersible), Production Platforms ( TLP, semi-submersible, SPAR, fixed platforms) and FPSO/FSO. Instrumentation and control cables are vital in offshore platforms and ships , in order to control and drive sensors, valves, measurements devices, alarm systems.
