Subsea Cables Insurance Conference & Workshop – 19 September
Following Cables 2024, Global Underwater Hub is holding a one-day conference centred on the critical area of subsea cable reliability and insurability. It will focus on the serious impact that cable faults and failures can have on the future growth of offshore wind.
It follows the hugely successful event held in London in 2023, which brought together key industry stakeholders to discuss building an effective way forward to mitigating cable failures, in turn de-risk owning and operating such assets.
Options are available to purchase a two-day pass, providing access to both conferences. You can book your two-day pass on our website here.
