CONNECTORS, CABLES & UMBILICALS Uraduct®
Cable Protection For The Ceuta Submarine Power Interconnection
CRP Subsea, an AIS company, has secured a significant order from Prysmian, global cabling solutions provider leading the energy transition and digital transformation. The contract is to supply 8.3 km of Uraduct® cable protection for the submarine power interconnection between the Spanish mainland and Ceuta, a Spanish city on the North African coast.
Uraduct® has been selected to protect sections of the submarine power cable, as it traverses the Strait of Gibraltar at depths reaching 900 metres. Its excellent abrasion and impact resistance will ensure its durability and resilience in the challenging subsea environment. Prysmian is very familiar with Uraduct®, having previously used it on numerous other projects. Recognising Uraduct®’s proven reliability and ease of installation, they turned to CRP Subsea when a large quantity was required to address pressing cable protection needs in the Ceuta project.
This project, led by Red Eléctrica (Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U.), is a key part of Spain’s energy transition
strategy, supporting the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. The total system length comprises 90 km of submarine cable and approximately 11 km of land cable.
Sharon Smith, Sales Engineer at CRP Subsea, comments: “We are proud to support Prysmian in this crucial infrastructure project. When they faced urgent cable protection challenges, we responded quickly and efficiently to provide the necessary support. This order highlights our ability to deliver high-quality solutions on tight deadlines.”
Manufacturing of the Uraduct® will take place at our facility in the North West of England, with engineering works already underway to ensure timely delivery scheduled for July 2025.
This partnership demonstrates our dedication to supporting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure and reinforces Uraduct®’s position as a trusted solution for submarine cable protection worldwide.
