Marine Cabling

Engineering-driven, class-aware marine cabling for low-voltage (≤1 kV) shipboard power, control, signal, and data circuits. We execute multi-kilometer cable pulling projects with SOLAS and IEC 60092 compliance.

Marine Cabling

Overview

VI MARINE delivers shipboard low-voltage (≤1 kV) marine cabling as an engineering discipline. Our cabling works follow SOLAS Chapter II-1, IEC 60092 Series, and classification society rules. We execute multi-kilometer cable pulling projects, retrofit cabling during shipyard periods, and survey-ready installations for engine rooms, cargo areas, accommodation spaces, and hazardous zones.

Why Marine Cabling Requires Engineering

Shipboard cabling systems operate under vibration, heat, mechanical stress, fire-risk zoning, and continuous operation. Unlike shore-based installations, improper cable routing or fixing on board ships can directly affect system reliability, fire safety, and survey outcomes.

Generic cabling practices are not sufficient in a marine environment. The difference between passing and failing a survey is often how the cable was installed, not what was installed.

SOLAS Chapter II-1 / Regulation 45 compliant
IEC 60092 Series - Shipboard electrical installations
DNV, ABS, LR, BV, Türk Loydu class society rules alignment
IACS Unified Requirements adherence
Marine electrical room cable trays and infrastructure
Marine cable infrastructure must support harsh environmental conditions and comply with fire safety regulations.

What We Do

Shipboard LV power, control, signal, and data cabling
Retrofit cabling works during shipyard and port stays
Large-scale cable pulling projects (multi-kilometer scopes)
Equipment, system, and panel interconnection cabling
Fire boundary and penetration management

How We Execute Marine Cabling

Our cabling works follow a structured engineering and execution discipline. Route planning and cable segregation philosophy come first, followed by controlled cable pulling methodology that protects insulation integrity. Proper tray design, support spacing, and fixing systems are installed. Fire boundary penetrations are managed according to class rules. Cable identification, tagging, and schedule control are maintained throughout.

Route planning and cable segregation philosophy
Controlled cable pulling methodology protecting insulation integrity
Proper tray design, support spacing, and fixing systems
Fire boundary and penetration management
Cable identification, tagging, and schedule control
Testing, verification, and as-built documentation
Marine cable glands and panel entry
Cable glands and penetrations must be watertight and maintain fire boundary integrity.

Deliverables & Documentation

Typical deliverables at completion of cabling works include cable lists and routing overview, identification and connection records, test results (IR, continuity, functional where applicable), installation photo records, and as-built documentation. Execution is monitored through defined quality control points.
