Submarine Cable Repair Capacities - Works
Submarine Cable Repair Capacities · CEF-INFRA
What this call funds
This call pays for building and deploying modular repair equipment that can be quickly installed on ships to fix broken submarine telecom cables in Europe's seas. The goal is to make sure Europe can respond fast when a cable is cut or damaged and normal commercial repair services can't fix it in time. Funded work includes designing the repair modules, preparing at least three ships to carry them, and setting up the operations needed to get them running within days of an emergency call.
