Marine Cable
Marine cable also called shipboard cable, which requires quality and conformity to the highest maritime standards. Grand Ocean Marine has been a global supplier of the world’s shipbuilding industry, we provide a wide range of tinned marine cable and ship cable, including power cable, VFD cable, control cable, telecommunication cable, and switchboard wire. All of our marine cables have obtained ABS, BV, LR, DNV-GL, NK, KR, RS certificates.
Our marine grade cables are able to achieve and maintain high performance in harsh conditions of heat, cold, humidity, oil, vibration and salt corrosion, etc. In order to safeguard the safety and health of the crew working on shipboard, grand ocean marine has also developed marine shipboard cable with flame retardant, low smoke, zero halogens (LSZH) and fire resistant capabilities.
Marine Power Cable
Marine power cable also names marine electrical cable. It is designed for power, lighting and control systems up to 0.6/1kV. It is suitable for fixed installation of marine, shipboard and offshore application.
Marine VFD Cable
Marine variable frequency drive (VFD) cable is designed to carry power from AC drive systems to AC motors. Rating voltage is 0.6/1kV or 1.8/3kV. Marine VFD cable has outstanding electromagnetic compatibility.
Marine Control Cable
The marine control cable is designed for control systems for marine and shipboard up to 150/250V. It is flame retardant, low smoke, halogen-free. Fire resistant cable as a request. It can be an overall screen or individual screen.
Marine Telephone Cable
Marine telephone cable is also called marine signal cable. It is twisted pair or triple pair, which is designed for telecommunication and information proceeding systems of marine and shipboard. Rating voltage is 150/250V.
Flexible Marine Wire
Flexible marine wire is class 5 copper wire conductor and XLPE or PVC insulation. It is intended for connection between electrical equipment and switchboard or switch on shipboard. Rating voltage is up to 0.6/1kV.
Marine Data Cable
Marine data cable also called marine ethernet cable, is designed for data transmission, and network for marine shipboard and offshore application. The cable types includes Cat 5E S/FTP, Cat 6A S/FTP, Cat 7 S/FTP 4 pairs.

1. What is marine cable?
Marine cable requires high quality and conformity to the highest maritime standards. It is used for installations in ships and offshore platforms for electrical power distribution to panels, lighting, control circuits, critical instrumentation signals, telephone, etc.
The marine cables are utilized abroad on many different kinds of crafts including drilling rigs, cruise, naval and vessels. The range of marine cables include:
- Transmission
- Communication
- Instrumentation
- Power
- Control
Marine cables need to perform at most ensuring reliability and safety for both passengers and cargo. There are many types/standards of marine cables which are designed and manufactured according to the requirements of crafts. The cables are usually used tinned copper wire conductor, insulation and armored to bear the sea environment and extreme challenges.
