This industry is critical for various sectors, including energy, shipping, fisheries, and aquaculture. It involves the construction and operation of vessels, platforms, and offshore structures, as well as the development of technologies for oil and gas exploration and renewable energy production, including offshore wind farms.

Cables used in the marine and offshore industry are specially designed to meet the unique and challenging conditions of these environments. They require water, moisture, UV, and weather resistance as the main features, along with chemical and flame resistance. Flexibility is also crucial for cables used in marine and offshore applications, as they often need to navigate through tight spaces and around complex equipment configurations.
