Cable layer damaged off Penmarc'h

Nearly 200 nautical miles southwest of Penmarc’h, the' Teliri' suffered a leak as well as propulsion problems after having left Calais on Feb 28, 2025, en route to Trapan. The tug 'Abeille Bourbon' left Brest on the morning of Feb 2 to assist the cable layer 200 miles southwest of Penmarc’h, after having entered into a commercial assistance agreement with the Boluda company. The 'Abeille-Bourbon' set sail from Brest at around 7 a.m. and was expected to reach the casualty on the afternoon. The convoy reached the Ponant port on March 4.

GO repairs undersea cable off sicilian coast

GO said yesterday that the submarine cable damaged by third parties on November 5 has been completely repaired, following round-the-clock efforts by a specialised repair vessel, which is contracted on a standby-basis for such emergencies, Times of Malta reports. "The incident is now in the hands of international authorities, who are investigating the cause of the damage, believed to have been caused by a ship anchored in shallow waters just off the Sicilian coast," GO said. It added that it is believed that the ship's amchor draffed the cable – which is embedded into the seabed at that point – for around 200m before ripping it completely. Around 1.5km of cable had to be replaced and spliced in, and the cable was then once again buried into the sea-bed. The operation was carried out by a Remote Operated Vehicle, an unmanned submarine. http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20111114/local/go-repairs-undersea-cable.393851
