Fairfield, NJ- As an expert for special cable solutions, SAB North America looks back on decades of experience in cable manufacturing. Every SAB product is engineered to meet the application requirements of different applications and industries. Our BL marine cables with DNV and ABS approval expand our cable range for ship and offshore applications.
Ballast water, necessary to counterbalance ships, is taken on board all over the ocean. For a safe and economic cruise every year, billions of tons of ballast water is spread in the sea. Together with this ballast water, unwanted passengers like fish, crabs, bacteria, and microbes are transported and released at the final destination. In their new environment, they affect or even infect other animals resulting in considerable ecological and economic harm.
The IMO (International Marine Organization) worked on an international agreement that will limit or avoid such dangers, by requiring the control and management of ballast water and sediments of ships. The ballast water onboard each ship has to be cleaned and sterilized by special treatment systems so that it reaches the prescribed standard according to the agreements. Our cable materials and construction have been developed to meet international standards as well as our customer's requirements.
For the wiring of technical equipment on ships SAB offers a range of cable products with DNV and ABS approvals. The products in our BL cable range include halogen-free, ethernet, data, control, and additional specialty cables for marine use.
