Oslo headquartered DNV GL has launched its guideline "Subsea power cables in shallow water renewable energy applications", which is claimed to be the most comprehensive review of subsea power cable practice in the industry.

The guideline was developed by the 'CableRisk' Joint Industry Project, which was established by DNV GL and 15 partner organisations to reduce the costly problems related to subsea cables.

Problems with subsea cables have affected many offshore wind farms and damage to cables has been identified as a major insurance risk for the offshore wind industry. Cable related problems are costly and most often arise from inadequate risk identification, lack of planning, sub-standard design and deficiencies in how procedures are applied. To date, cabling failures have cost millions of euros in delays and numerous legal disputes.

The guideline is free to download from www.dnvgl.com/rules-standards/default.aspx#2 .
