Fluves and Marlinks are joining forces and will move forward together as one integrated company. This step is the result of their shared expertise in fiber optic monitoring technology, which forms the foundation of their innovative solutions.

Each year, between summer and early autumn, East Asia faces an intense typhoon season. Known as hurricanes or cyclones in other parts of the world, these powerful storms bring extreme winds, heavy rainfall, and significant wave action, all of which can severely impact offshore infrastructure.

The offshore energy industry is heavily reliant on subsea power cables. These critical links transport electricity from offshore wind farms to the mainland, helping drive the transition to a more sustainable energy system.

As offshore wind farms expand into deeper waters, floating turbines have emerged as a key solution. However, these floating structures introduce new challenges – particularly for the power cables.
