Cable protection systems for the western 150 kV HVAC submarine cable of the Crete–Peloponnese island link.
CRP Subsea (formerly Trelleborg Offshore UK) was awarded a contract by Hellenic Cables to supply bespoke cable protection solutions for the western cable of the Crete–Peloponnese electricity interconnection. The company designed and manufactured three types of ancillary products—Motion Stabilisers, Bend Restrictors with VIV strakes, and Tri‑Strakes Combi VIV suppression strakes—to protect critical sections of the submarine power cable in deep water and highly variable seabed conditions. These systems mitigate lateral movement, axial or lateral cable walking, over‑bending, tension and fatigue, enhancing long‑term stability and integrity of the installed cable. The products were delivered and successfully installed offshore as part of the west cable construction campaign.
