Industry Applications

Topside Drilling Facilities

Robust power distribution lines designed to supply continuous, high-amperage current to heavy mud pumps, top drives, and draw-works systems.

FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) Vessels

Highly flexible dynamic cabling built to tolerate the constant twisting, wave motion, and structural deflection inherent to floating hulls.

Subsea Control & Umbilicals

High-integrity links providing reliable low-voltage control signals and real-time sensor data telemetry between the platform and subsea wellheads.

Emergency Shutdown & Safety Systems

Fire-resistant control circuits that maintain vital communications and structural safety systems active even during localized hydrocarbon fire events.

Accommodation & Living Quarters

Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) power and lighting infrastructure engineered to maximize personnel safety and prevent toxic gas generation during a crisis.

Offshore Substation Links

High-voltage export cabling engineered for stable, long-distance power transmission from localized offshore generation points back to the platform grid.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Can Frigate customize the cable insulation and jacketing for extreme Arctic offshore installations?

Yes. For ultra-low temperature projects, we formulate customized outer jackets capable of maintaining impact resistance and flexibility down to $-50^\circ\text{C}$. These specific configurations are tested to meet cold-bend and cold-impact standards required by global classification societies for Arctic deployments.

How do your cables comply with the NEK 606 mud resistance standards for drilling fluids?

Our oil platform cables utilize specialized SHF2 and mud-resistant thermoset compounds that undergo rigorous testing against mineral, water, and synthetic-based drilling muds. This prevents the swelling, softening, and cracking that standard industrial cables experience when exposed to aggressive offshore chemicals.

What documentation and third-party certifications are provided with custom manufacturing runs?

Every production batch undergoes comprehensive in-house testing, including insulation resistance, high-voltage withstand, and dimensional validation. Upon request during the RFQ stage, we provide full material traceability reports and type-approval certifications from major maritime societies like DNV, ABS, or Lloyd’s Register.

Can you manufacture hybrid cable configurations combining power, control, and fiber optic cores?

Absolutely. Frigate specializes in custom-engineered composite cables that integrate medium-voltage power cores, low-voltage control conductors, and single-mode or multi-mode fiber optics within a single armored jacket. This minimizes installation time, reduces total weight on the cable trays, and optimizes space utilization.

What are the minimum order quantities (MOQs) for non-standard conductor sizes or custom color jackets?

Our baseline MOQ for custom cross-sections or specialty color-coded outer jackets typically starts at 1,000 meters per line item, depending on the raw material configuration. However, for specialized prototype runs or urgent platform maintenance outages, we can review engineering schedules to accommodate lower volumes.
