Subsea Cable Insurance Workshop

Offshore wind is set for exponential growth as the need for sustainable energy to tackle climate change accelerates. Analysts predict over $800bn will be allocated to new developments by 2030, but major challenges must be tackled if this expenditure is to succeed.

The demand for new critical infrastructure to be installed is huge and subsea cables are central to meeting this, with hundreds of miles of export and inter-array cables required. With an estimated 80% of all insurance claims in offshore wind relating to cable failures, much more will need to be done in this space.

This Global Underwater Hub all-day workshop will bring key industry stakeholders together, including technical experts from IMCA. Attendees from technology developers, operators, insurers, and cable manufacturers, as well as IMCA members, will come together to mitigate failures, enhance monitoring, and gain additional insights into the condition, integrity and performance of cables and terminations.

The Workshop findings will feed into IMCA activity in this area, with a new Joint Industry Partnership group recently established to bring IMCA members and the industry together to establish a cable-lay code of practice. Contact Mark Ford to find out more.
