Cable specialist VBMS and electrical engineering outfit EDS have formed a joint monitoring program designed to minimize disruptions from subsea cable faults.
The pact, first revealed in the subscriber-only newsletter reNEWS, has seen the creation of a response preparations framework the pair claims could see cable repairs being completed up to 70% faster.
The collaboration was officially launched at an event in London devoted entirely to cable faults, attended by more than 100 individuals from developers, offshore transmission owners, insurers and contractors.
“We are confident that the concept launched at this event will greatly contribute to the longevity of the renewables sector,” VBMS managing director Arno van Poppel said. “Further collaboration is planned to ensure that this very important topic is kept high on the agenda.”
