Floating Power Cables for Offshore and Marine Applications
Floating power cables are specially engineered for offshore and marine environments where flexibility, mobility, and safety are essential. Unlike traditional submarine cables that rest on the seabed, floating cables are equipped with buoyancy elements, enabling them to remain suspended at or near the water’s surface.
Floating cable
These cables are widely used in offshore wind farms, oil & gas platforms, marine ports, and temporary power supply operations, ensuring reliable electricity transmission under harsh conditions such as UV radiation, saltwater exposure, and continuous movement.
Applications
Offshore Oil & Gas – Floating platforms, FPSOs, and drilling rigs.
Renewable Energy – Floating wind turbine interconnections.
Marine Ports & Shipyards – Shore-to-ship power supply, floating docks.
Emergency Power Supply – Rapid deployment in disaster relief or remote marine projects.
Industrial & Construction – Temporary floating camps or barges.
Cable Construction
Conductor: Stranded copper or aluminum.
Insulation: XLPE or EPR for superior dielectric performance.
Inner Sheath: Thermoplastic or elastomeric compound.
Reinforcement (Optional): Steel wire or braided armor for mechanical protection.
Outer Sheath: Polyurethane / heavy-duty PVC, resistant to UV and seawater.
Buoyancy Layer: Integrated foam or synthetic floatation modules.
Key Features
Waterproof & UV Resistant – Long-term performance in marine environments.
Flexible Design – Withstands constant bending and wave movement.
High Mechanical Strength – Resistant to abrasion and external stress.
Easy Installation & Repositioning – No seabed trenching required.
Certified Quality – Compliant with IEC, IEEE, and DNV standards.
