Vault Subsea Joins the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC)
Vault Subsea is pleased to announce that we have joined the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC), the global industry body dedicated to the protection, resilience, and sustainability of submarine cable infrastructure.
The ICPC brings together cable owners, operators, installers, regulators, and specialist contractors from across the world to promote best practice in the planning, installation, operation, protection, and maintenance of subsea cables. Its work plays a critical role in safeguarding the infrastructure that underpins global communications, power transmission, and economic activity.
Supporting a Shared Industry Mission
As subsea networks expand in scale, density, and strategic importance, effective cable protection increasingly relies on collaboration across the industry. The ICPC provides a forum for sharing operational experience, developing guidance, and addressing emerging risks affecting submarine cables worldwide.
Vault Subsea’s membership reflects our commitment to contributing practical, experience-led insight to this shared effort. Our work in cable protection, stabilisation, and seabed intervention gives us direct exposure to the challenges faced by cable owners and operators in dynamic offshore environments.
Contributing Practical Experience
Through our involvement with the ICPC, Vault Subsea aims to support the organisation’s objectives by:
Sharing lessons learned from real-world cable protection and recovery activities
Contributing to discussions on best practice for managing seabed risk and asset resilience
Supporting collaborative approaches to reducing cable damage and improving long-term performance
We believe that effective cable protection is achieved not only through sound engineering, but through informed decision-making, early engagement, and alignment between all stakeholders involved in subsea infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
Membership of the ICPC strengthens Vault Subsea’s engagement with the global subsea cable community and reinforces our focus on protecting critical infrastructure in an increasingly complex operating environment.
We look forward to participating in ICPC initiatives and supporting its ongoing work to promote safe, resilient, and sustainable submarine cable systems worldwide.
