Cable Transport

Oceanteam works with various ship owners and brokers to identify, assess, select, and charter suitable transport means on behalf of the clients. Our extensive track record in the cable and umbilical transport market has created valuable in-house know-how and knowledge that ultimately benefits the end client. This makes Oceanteam a trusted partner for cable transport across offshore wind and subsea oil & gas projects.

Vessel & Barge Selection

For every project, our team identifies, assesses and selects the vessel or barge best suited to the cable, the route and the installation schedule, drawing on established relationships with owners and brokers across the market. This is often combined with our own quayside storage facility in Rotterdam, giving a single point of coordination between storage and onward cable transport.

Project Management & Engineering

Cable transport is supported by dedicated project management and engineering for every transport and load-out operation, from method statements and risk assessments through to on-site execution. Our engineers plan each mobilisation around the specific cable diameter, weight and route, so equipment and crew are ready before the vessel arrives. Equipment is mobilised specifically for inter-array and export cables, drawn from our fleet of cable carousels, track tensioners and loading towers, engineered in-house and built to DNV-ST-N001 and other applicable offshore standards.

Certified Crews Worldwide

Certified cable crews are available worldwide for load-out work, giving operators access to qualified personnel wherever a project is based. As part of the Combifloat Group, we offer cable handling logistics and services all around the world, combining versatile equipment with highly qualified personnel.
