Global Underwater Hub publishes guidelines for undersea cable monitoring
- Category: Industry News
Global Underwater Hub (GUH) has released new guidelines aimed at improving the monitoring of undersea cables, with the goal of increasing the resilience of critical offshore energy infrastructure. Cable monitoring is key to maintaining the reliability of offshore wind and other subsea systems.
