Daihan Cable has strengthened its subsea cable verification capabilities through an industry-academia partnership with Myongji University. The company signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Myongji University's Hybrid Structure Experimental Center to enhance testing and verification capabilities for subsea cable structural performance.
The partnership focuses on developing and certifying dynamic cables specifically designed for floating offshore wind farms. By establishing a domestic testing and verification infrastructure, Daihan Cable is building the foundation to conduct the entire process from development through certification within South Korea, eliminating the need to rely on overseas testing facilities.
This collaboration is expected to significantly strengthen Daihan Cable's competitiveness in the global offshore wind market. As the offshore wind industry continues to expand worldwide, the ability to conduct independent testing and certification domestically provides a crucial competitive advantage in securing international orders and contracts.
The initiative reflects South Korea's broader efforts to develop a self-sufficient offshore wind supply chain and reduce dependence on foreign testing and certification services. By combining Daihan Cable's industry expertise with Myongji University's research capabilities, the partnership aims to accelerate innovation in subsea cable technology and position Korean companies as reliable suppliers in the global floating offshore wind sector.
