Details

The market for submarine cable marine services is driven by ship utilization, response to emerging traffic patterns and the technical service capability of the diverse set of facilities required to survey, install, repair and maintain submarine telecommunications cable. The desire for ever greater efficiency in carrier operating costs clashes greatly with the rich rewards for comparable marine services outside the telecommunications cable market - particularly in oil and gas. The report investigates, analyzes and forecasts the shape of the telecommunications marine services market in response to these and other dominant influences. It explores the following key aspects:

• Marine services supplier capability and telecommunications market demand
• Changing maintenance patterns
• The unusual "pull" of competing markets (e.g. power cable, oil & gas)
• The link between traffic demand and marine services demand
• The need for new build facilities compared with the desire of the ship owners and operators to meet demand
• Trends in marine services
• Impact on pricing

The report translates Pioneer's proprietary and proven traffic forecasting methodology into projections for the global demand for marine services and facilities for telecommunications submarine cable systems including:

• Route Engineering Feasibility Studies
• Marine Route Survey (including BAS)
• Installation (including PLIB, PLGR)
• Maintenance

The report considers the impact of increasing regional traffic demand and is a must-read for engineers and executives alike. The target audience includes:

• Submarine cable owners and Carriers seeking to understand the marine services market
• Marine Services Suppliers seeking greater understanding of global market factors
• Potential investors in the marine services marketplace
• Cable and equipment suppliers seeking to optimize the supply chain for turnkey system solutions
• Maintenance Services providers seeking to set and react to new maintenance trends

The report will include an overview of the many entities supplying submarine telecommunications cable marine services.
