Its expertise is internationally recognized, allowing it to occupy an important place in the world at a time when submarine cables, which are becoming more and more efficient, are of strategic importance for the world economy and are being deployed in every sea and ocean.
With its Italian sister company, Elettra Tlc, Orange Marine has a fleet of 6 cable ships and 1 survey ship, representing almost 15% of the submarine installation and maintenance market.
At the end of 2023, Orange Marine’s ships had installed over 278,000 kilometers of fiber optic submarine cables and had carried out over 800 repairs, some at depths of over 6,000 meters.
In addition, Orange Marine designs, builds, and operates a full range of submarine vehicles for work on submarine cables (ROV – Remotely Operated Vehicles, plows, trenchers, crawlers) capable of trench and inspect any type of cable.
In 2023, the Sophie Germain, the new modern, efficient and eco-friendly cable ship, designed with a high focus on station keeping performances and low fuel consumption joined the Orange Marine fleet specifically for the repair of different types of submarine cables, either fiber optic telecommunications cables or Wind Farms Intra-array power cables.
Power cable installation:
Orange Marine provides new offers on lead markets, such as offshore and renewable energies. Relying on decades of expertise, Orange Marine can provide comprehensive offers, from desktop studies to installation and maintenance operations.
Orange Marine’s vessels tailored for power cable market are CLV Pierre De Fermat which is equipped with power cable coiling arm and CLV Sophie Germain which is equipped with power cable lay spread (carousel).

Those activities can be proposed onboard orange Marine vessel, opportunity vessel or onboard our customer’s vessel.
Survey and cable routing:
Using, the Urbino Monti, the new dedicated ship of its subsidiary Elettra tlc, Orange Marine can perform marine surveys of new submarine cable routes.
Once defined the theoretical route, Orange Marine charters a ship equipped with sonar and sounders to map it. The marine survey is a geophysical and geotechnical study, conducted along the route. It aims at confirming the choice of the route or correcting it if need be. In case of burial, the marine survey also provides a burial assessment study.
Orange Marine oversees the survey servicing and provides the customer with real-time route engineering service based on the survey’s information.
