Philson has secured a major contract to supply its high-performance polyurethane cable protection systems for the commercial expansion phase of a key floating offshore wind project off the coast of Japan.
Building upon the successful delivery of the initial phase, Philson will provide a comprehensive solution comprising bend restrictors, distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs), and polyurethane cable protection sleeves to safeguard the dynamic array and export cables. Scheduled for installation in the third quarter of this year, this milestone marks a significant step forward in the development of commercial floating wind infrastructure in Asia.
Commenting on the contract award, Nina Zhang, Offshore Business Manager at Philson, stated: "Winning the follow-on contract for this Japanese clean energy project once again is a strong endorsement of our engineering capabilities and product reliability. Meeting stringent international standards and tight project schedules relies heavily on close collaboration with regional tier-one contractors. This achievement further solidifies Philson’s position as a trusted global partner for subsea cable protection in harsh environments."
In floating wind and marine energy applications, subsea power cables are subjected to continuous mechanical stresses from waves, currents, and structural movements. Philson's polyurethane-based protection systems are specifically designed to absorb dynamic loads, mitigate localized fatigue, and extend the operational lifespan of critical subsea power links.
