Far East Cable's 40 - year Hard - core Contribution Vol.3 | Long - length Submarine Cables Marching into the Deep Blue Ocean
Categories：Date：2025-04-28
Recently, with the horn of the laying vessel sounding, a batch of Far East long - length submarine cables, embodying the craftsmanship of Chinese intelligent manufacturing, embarked on an important journey to the project site. This seemingly ordinary product delivery ceremony is actually a new round of charge by Far East Intelligent Manufacturing towards the deep - sea area.
In the field of submarine cables, the shadow of "neck - clamping" has long hung over Chinese manufacturing. Before 2010, high - voltage submarine cables required for domestic deep - sea projects were almost monopolized by European companies, with a price as high as tens of millions of yuan per kilometer. With the courage to "tackle tough problems", the people of Far East established a special research team in 2012 to break through technologically against the core problems such as pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and long life in the complex underwater environment. Based on the company's own layout, entering the submarine cable market can enable Far East to complete the full range of cable products and cover all scenarios, achieving the goal of "reaching the sky, going underground and entering the sea", which is an important strategic measure for Far East to consolidate its industry advantage and demonstrate its leading position. Chen Jing, the deputy secretary of the Party Committee, director and Chief Executive Officer of the cable industry of Far East Holding Group, once said in an interview with the media, "Submarine cable is the 'pearl on the crown' of our wire and cable industry, and Far East must pick it."
Since its establishment in March 2022, Far East Submarine Cable Co., Ltd. has actively contributed to achieving the "dual carbon" goal. It has invested 3 billion yuan to build a high-end marine engineering and submarine cable industrial base in Rudong, Jiangsu Province. The base covers an area of 400 mu and is equipped with the world's only "one tower with 6 lines + 8 lines" VCV vertical tower production line. It is a key project in Jiangsu Province in 2023 and the first lighthouse factory in the industry. Its annual production capacity includes: 2,000 kilometers of opto-electric composite submarine cables and special submarine cables, 6,000 kilometers of submarine optical cables, and approximately 30,000 sets of various cable accessories. The base, together with a 50,000-ton dedicated terminal and a professional laying fleet, forms a closed loop of "manufacturing-transportation-construction", establishing a service network covering multiple countries, which provides a solid guarantee for the large-scale delivery of deep-sea cables.
Just as Jiang Chengzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Far East Holding Group, said: "Every voyage is a new starting point. The delivery of deep-sea cables is not the end, but the starting point for China's high-end equipment to head towards the deep blue sea." At first, Far East Submarine Cables may seem like just a vision of the deep sea, but upon further observation, it is truly inspiring! Far East will complete every delivery with timely and excellent products and services, providing an inexhaustible source of Far East strength for the journey in the deep sea!
