The Marine Management Organisation’s (MMO) Marine Licensing team along with the European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA) have develop a desk note to assist with marine licence applications.
The desk note provides an overview of the subsea cable sector, the relevant legislation, a description of the different types of cable, the main methods of cable installation, as well as the key impacts to be considered in a subsea cable application.
Trudi Wakelin MMO director of Marine Licensing said: “We worked closely with ESCA in developing this desk note to make sure that the content is of value to the cable industry and that the information contained in it gives a clear understanding of what applicants need to do to achieve licences.”
Peter Jamieson , chair of ESCA added: “ESCA welcomes this publicly available desk note, which will ensure consistency for both applicant and regulator. “
