Leading manufacturers of marine and offshore cables
At Custom Designed Cables, we manufacture high-performance offshore cable solutions designed for some of the world’s harshest operating environments. From offshore oil rigs and marine vessels to dockside infrastructure and shipboard systems, our bespoke marine industry cables are engineered for reliability, durability and long-term performance.
Marine and offshore environments expose cables to extreme conditions, including:
- Saltwater and high humidity
- Oil, mud and chemical exposure
- UV radiation and fluctuating temperatures
- Constant movement, vibration and mechanical stress
Our cables for marine and offshore industry applications are manufactured to withstand these demanding conditions while maintaining safe and reliable power, data and signal transmission.
With ISO 9001:2015 quality management and UL & CSA approvals, we deliver marine cable solutions that meet strict industry standards and perform in critical offshore environments.
Whether you need a standard marine cable or a fully bespoke offshore cable assembly, our experienced team can help.
Marine & Offshore Cable Solutions
Marine cables are highly specialised electrical cables designed specifically for offshore and maritime environments where standard cables would quickly degrade or fail.
To ensure long-term reliability, marine and offshore cables are manufactured using:
- Water-resistant insulation and sheathing
- Corrosion-resistant conductor materials
- Chemical- and oil-resistant jackets
- Flexible constructions for moving equipment
- Optional cable armouring for additional protection
These features help prevent moisture ingress, corrosion and mechanical damage in demanding marine conditions.
Types of Marine Industry Cables
We design and manufacture a wide range of marine industry cables tailored to different offshore and shipboard applications.
