Interesting lab tour at Université Gustave Eiffel in Nantes, France. Our team gathered in beautiful Nantes, France, for a highly productive in‑person meeting. The discussions were inspiring and helped drive the project forward in several important areas. Cable Testing at UGE At UGE, extensive bending and mechanical tests have been performed on the NKT cable. The goal is to understand how the cable behaves under stress and whether any internal components are affected. While th

Project partners looking at the newly developed in-line coating application chamber at Geico, Italy Main Outputs Environmentally Friendly Paint for Medium‑Voltage Cables Developed a sustainable easy-to-clean coating for medium‑voltage cables (MVC), currently undergoing real‑sea testing. Innovative In‑Line Antifouling Coating Application Chamber Designed and implemented a novel in‑line paint application and curing chamber. This solution significantly reduces curing time and en

Hello everyone! Here we are with the second periodic update on our project. We are making great progress and would like to share the latest news with you. Cable in the sea First test of the new system On October 2, the CNR, RISE and University of Alcalá successfully conducted the first operational test of the portable DAS system on subsea cables, a major milestone for its real-world deployment. As part of the project’s marine monitoring activities, the DAS system has now bee

Picture from the deployment in the ocean of dynamic testing. We’re excited to announce that test panels have now been deployed at Kristineberg Marine Research Station on the Swedish west coast as part of the SEASNAKE+ project, targeting sustainable biofouling control for offshore renewable energy (ORE) systems. The test campaign includes both static and dynamic antifouling evaluations: Static tests of feature coatings applied to Plexiglas samples; a nearshore testing of a sur

Hello everyone! Here we are with the first periodic update on our project. We are making great progress and would like to share the latest news with you. The project in a nutshell The project focuses on an antifouling system scale up with novel application chamber reducing the curing time and make possible up-scale of cable production with antifouling on the outer jacket. Three major advances characterize the project: new antifouling coatings transitioned to a thinner more fl
