In a contract valued at around Euros 90 million, Nexans is supplying high voltage power cables and infield cables to Hyundai Heavy Industries Co.

Nexans is supplying HHI with 132 kV XLPE insulated three-core subsea power cable incorporating three fibre optic elements, together with 11 kV XLPE insulated three-core infield cables, also incorporating three fibre optic elements.
“Winning this very significant order for the Nasr project continues our current growth in subseas power cable project,” said Dirk Steinbrink, Nexans Senior Executive Vice President High Voltage & Underwater Cables. “It also demonstrates the broad scope of our offering for the oil and gas industry with high technology power cables and umbilicals.”
Nexans will manufacture the Nasr cables at its specialised facility in Halden, Norway.
