Webinar: Cable Exposure Monitoring Services
Get more insights on the industry’s latest challenges with regards to cable exposures and join the discussion.
Marlinks secures first cable condition monitoring contract in the US
Marlinks, a world leader in the provision of subsea cable integrity monitoring services, announces its first contract award in the United States. The contract includes the supply, installation, commissioning of monitoring hardware and the ongoing provision of integrity monitoring services, more precisely depth of burial monitoring of the project’s inter array cables.
Cable Protection System (CPS) health monitoring by means of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
Learn more about fiber optic sensing technology, the DAS principle and Cable Protection System (CPS) continuous health monitoring. Discover why it’s essential for wind farm owners to consider and implement this technology.
BOPTIC research project
The project idea originated from the understanding that it is crucial to have the knowledge and tools to detect and mitigate failures in cables and foundations of offshore wind farms as this is the key to large cost reductions and to economically viable wind production as an energy source.
Meet our new Business Developer for the UK and US, Andrew Lloyd
Last month Marlinks had the pleasure to onboard Andrew Lloyd, our new UK Business Development Manager, who comes with a vast experience in the power cable installation, repair and maintenance sector having worked for Global Marine for over 20 years.
Why submarine cable monitoring matters to insurers
As the need for renewable energy sources increases, so do damage claims of offshore wind farms. Facing the brunt such claims, insurance companies are turning to submarine cable monitoring. Over 80% of insurance claims were due to cable damage. Read more about this topic via our latest blog article.
Our UK Brand Ambassador, Andy shares some last thoughts before going into retirement
Our UK brand ambassador has seen the offshore wind market evolve from its early stages and left a considerable mark on the whole industry. However, to all great stories come an end, and every protagonist deserves some rest time as well.
Marlinks wins Blue Innovation Award for CPS monitoring
We are extremely proud that Marlinks won the Blue Innovation Wave award for Cable Protecion System (CPS) monitoring. The aim with this innovation is to closely monitor different CPS and submarine power cables in offshore wind farms by measuring acoustic vibrations along the cables through Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).
Typhoon season in East Asia
While in Europe we are encountering severe drought issues, in the East Asian region the opposite is happening, namely typhoon season. Luckily it has been a rather calm typhoon year, but did you know that typhoons can technically cause waves as high as ten to twenty meters? This is sufficient to sink a vessel on sea. The high wind intensity and rainfall during a typhoon make it very difficult to perform any maintenance or construction work offshore.
