Maritime and offshore

Cable and pipe transits are primarily used for applications in hazardous maritime and offshore environments where the possibility of fire, explosions, water penetration or other danger poses a real threat, and where the rapid access to emergency services is limited or non-existent.

The major maritime and offshore application areas are:

• Oil platforms
• Oil tankers/LNG carriers
• Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Vessels
• Drilling ships
• Naval vessels
• Merchant ships
• Cruise ships and ferries
• Submarines
