SubCom’s expertise in fishing risk management and fishery liaison on a global scale can provide just the help that cable owners need in order to understand and reduce risks from the earliest project planning stages through installation and maintenance.

Leveraging the fisheries database and relationships with other sea bed users around the world, SubCom identifies local risks to cable systems and distributes cable information to seabed users in formats tailored for local conditions. These activities contribute to better relations among different maritime industries, increasing the safety of the cable and other seabed users. “Oregon fishermen have a great relationship with the submarine cable industry, due in no small part to the efforts of SubCom,” said Scott McMullen, Chairman Oregon Fishermen’s Cable Committee. “I have been impressed with the way SubCom works with the fishing fleet to avoid conflicts. They have a good understanding of how to address issues before they become problems. SubCom has demonstrated a high degree of integrity in working with the Oregon Fishermen’s Cable Committee to cooperatively address fishing issues.” SubCom maintains strong ties with local and national agencies, fishing organizations, and businesses to ensure safe environmental practices. SubCom’s representatives serve on the Executive Committee of the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC), the North American Submarine Cable Association (NASCA), and the United Kingdom Cable Protection Committee (UKCPC). These organizations of cable owners, operators and suppliers are focused on protecting cable installations, sharing the seabed in harmony, and promoting marine safety.
