Subsea cable burial and deburial:

James Fisher Marine Services deploys competent personnel for diving, rigging, tower access, cable operation and deck support to provide efficient cable burial and deburial services. Multi-skilled, we offer a cost-effective solution to projects which often require the use of several different services. These include ROV systems, designed to locate cables with custom-built tools, which are able to extract cable from various seabed compositions.

Subsea cable inspection and repair:

James Fisher Marine Services provides cable survey services to assist with fault diagnosis, preventing future problems by recommending and employing suitable remedial strategies such as scour protection, cable repair, cable maintenance and cable protection. With the resources and knowledge required to find and fix faults efficiently, we complete projects as effectively as possible.

Cable shore ends:

Every subsea cable will eventually come to shore for plumbing into the inshore grid. James Fisher Marine Services has experience installing the shore ends of cables on numerous offshore projects, including at a number of wind farms.
