We’re making it official. Marlinks, long part of the Fluves family, is now fully integrated under a single name: Fluves. What was already one organization in practice becomes one organization in identity, bringing together our technology, our offshore expertise, and our teams under a unified brand and structure.

Offshore wind is entering a new phase: projects are getting larger, sites are opening in new regions, and developers are working in seabed environments they have little historical data on; subsea power cables remain one of the most critical and costly assets in offshore wind.

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.

At Marlinks, we are incredibly proud and excited to have received the ISO 27001 certification from Bureau Veritas. This achievement is not only a recognition of our teamwork but also highlights the importance of the effort we put into ensuring the highest standards of information security management system.

Effective subsea cable monitoring is crucial for ensuring the long-term performance of offshore wind farms. With evolving challenges in maintaining these critical transmission systems, operators are increasingly turning to more advanced monitoring solutions. This article explores the various subsea cable inspection tools available today, while shining a light on Marlinks’ continuous, real-time monitoring technology.

Subsea cable monitoring is not just a technological advancement. It's a critical component for the operational success and sustainability of offshore wind farms.
