The floaters for submarine-cable landing and its engineering applications

Abstract

Abstract The floater can be employed to provide additional buoyancy to the submarine cable during its landing to ensure its routing and connection with the onshore connectors. With the update of the voltage-class of the submarine cable, to ensure the efficiency and quality of the landing operations, the floater has been changed from the traditional waste tires to the new types of pre-fabricated floaters. In this paper, the characteristics of different floaters will be introduced and compared with the engineering applications. The development trends of the floaters for submarine-cable landing are proposed.
