Cables in e-chains from the only supplier worldwide with DNV approval

So that cables for moving applications can be used on ships and in offshore applications without expensive special approvals, igus and DNV Klassifizierungsgesellschaft have again upgraded and renewed their jointly developed test standard for dynamically moving applications on ships in 2020. Oil drilling platforms, gas production facilities, wind farms, port facilities or ship cranes: the sea and the waves place very special demands on secure energy and data transmission.

For this reason, maritime users now have more than 387 tested and DNV-certified control, servo, motor and robot cables as well as bus, data, encoder and fibre optic cables available for the reliable operation of maritime applications. As for all chainflex cables that are specially designed for movement in energy chains, igus also gives a guarantee of 4 years for cables used here.

Like all other sectors, the maritime industry has to face the challenges posed by automation and digitalisation. Whether in navigation, shipping companies or in the offshore industry with oil and gas, the analogue world is almost a thing of the past – digital systems are establishing themselves and laying the foundation for automation concepts. Complex solutions transform ships into autonomous factories, pave the way for shipping companies to become fully-fledged logistics providers and support the offshore industry in harvesting the oil and gas fields more efficiently through automated production processes. In all areas, the higher the degree of automation and optimisation of these systems, the more cost-effective, sustainable and secure the business operations of companies will be.
