SEASNAKE

Objetive

 

In the SEASNAKE project, a new MV electric cable solution will be developed. The new design aims to reduce cable weight by introducing a new type of shield that will allow the cable to move with a high frequency and remain functional for a long period of time. SEASNAkE's overall objectives are to reduce the cost and risk of offshore operations through convergence in cable technology, through:

✓ Demonstration of dynamic cable solutions (laboratory and marine environment);

✓ Risk reduction and optimization of offshore operations (installation, maintenance, decommissioning);

✓ Application of surface protection for marine biofouling.

 

WavEC Results

 

  • Development of anti-fouling coatings to be applied to submarine electrical cables -the goal is to reduce biofouling thus reducing the load of cables, power collectors and power converters.

 

  • Four formulations based on the Selektope® biocide will be produced and durable and easy-to-remove coatings (fouling release), recorded in accordance with EU Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) regulation.
