Hello everyone! Here we are with the third periodic update on our project. We are making great progress and would like to share the latest news with you. Underwater image of the cable connected to the system DAS system successfully operating Since October 2025, the DAS prototype has been successfully operating at the CNR-IAS Experimental Marine Station in the Port of Genoa, where it continuously monitors the behavior of a submerged medium-voltage cable. Developed by the Uni

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
