Global Marine launches GeoCable version 5.2
Submarine Cabling Software Package

Upgraded software has fully customisable functionality for
management of cable route planning

Chelmsford, UK: Global Marine Systems Limited, the independent market-leading subsea cable installation and maintenance company, has launched version 5.2 of its unique GeoCable marine engineering software package. GeoCable assists companies with the management of cable route planning, installation and maintenance operations.

Comprising over 1.9 million kilometres of cable route data and 3000 hydrographic charts, version 5.2 enables customers to benefit from bespoke functionality to reflect the needs of their business, such as viewing information based upon a specific geographical focus, seismic activity or dedicated information and statistical analysis on a particular type of subsea cable.

Commenting today, Brian Perratt, Manager of Global Charting Services at Global Marine, said, “With many of the world’s oceans now reaching cable saturation point, GeoCable empowers our customers by providing extensive cable and oceanographic information to allow them to plan and execute cable installation and maintenance in the most efficient and cost effective manner for their business.”

Originally developed in 1999 by Global Marine, GeoCable provides customers with a simple interface to integrate GeoMedia GIS (Geographical Information System) software with global cable data, ocean depth information and navigational charts. By combining its own cable route maps, which go back over the last 150 years, with UK Hydrographic Admiralty Raster Chart Service (ARCS) data, Global Marine’s GeoCable package is recognised throughout the marine engineering industry as consistently providing the most comprehensive cable information available.
