Being prepared saves time and costs

Localising a failed submarine cable is complex. Repairing it requires specialistic skills. Complexities and delay occur because operators are unprepared or because spare parts and spare cable are not readily accessible or available. When contractual conditions, rates and payment schedule are agreed upfront massive time savings can be realised. The availability of repair assets is hardly ever guaranteed, therefor we use a unique concept which makes use of a large number of options.

We work in close consultation with marine authorities, ports, logistic companies, cable suppliers and technology providers who all have specialised expert knowledge. We combine these capabilities and offer a total repair solution to minimise downtime and reduce th etotal costs of a cable failure. Speed is of the essence.

We are based in Rotterdam, Dubai and Singapore.

"We ae now prepared and have a cable repair script available in case this should ever happen again. We demonstrated to our insurance company that we are fully prepared and as a result thereof our insurance premium is significantly lower than before."
