This partnership represents more than just a collaboration; it is a true alliance built on shared principles and a mutual commitment to serving the subsea cable industry. Both of our companies recognize that while subsea cable projects are inherently complex, costly, and challenging, we also believe in the power of simplicity and clarity when it comes to providing services to our clients. We share the view that, despite the intricacies involved in these projects, the approach should be straightforward and transparent, especially when we engage with our clients from the very early stages of their projects.
Red Penguin Marine’s expertise and experience in the subsea cable sector are unmatched. Their team brings invaluable risk engineering services to our partnership, offering a wealth of first-hand knowledge and insights gained through their extensive involvement in cable laying operations.
