Subsea Solutions That Deliver
Global Explorer Marine Pte Ltd is a global subsea engineering contractor, specialising in submarine cable installation, repair, and maintenance.
Our senior management brings hands-on submarine cable experience, coastal and inshore marine and civil construction since 1996, supported by chartered vessels and a comprehensive suite of marine construction equipment to meet diverse project requirements.
We specialise in the installation and trenching of power and telecommunications cables and umbilicals, delivering reliable, engineered, and cost-effective solutions worldwide.
Our services are offered to cable network owners, main contractors, manufacturers, offshore oil and gas operators, and power utilities. They can be delivered independently or as a complete turnkey project, from concept and subsea lay to burial and commissioning.
Beyond shallow-water cable installation, we provide umbilical installation services for offshore oil and gas projects, using specialised techniques and custom equipment tailored to each project’s requirements.
-
We provide either end-to-end turn key submarine cable installation services, or individual services tailored to the customer’s needs, including regional cable festoons and main lay systems, executed to meet project-specific technical and environmental requirements.
Our capabilities extend to inshore cable systems and shore-end installations in very shallow waters and complex tidal environments, where precise planning and specialised methodologies are essential.
We also support offshore oil and gas developments, delivering cable installation services such as J-tube pull-ins at platforms and offshore navigation light systems.
Projects can be supported by comprehensive pre- and post-lay cable route surveys, with detailed final reporting to ensure accuracy, compliance, and project assurance.
-
We provide comprehensive submarine cable repair and maintenance services, supported by the design and provision of specialised repair and maintenance equipment.
Our team develops and implements proven repair and maintenance procedures to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable intervention under a wide range of operating conditions.
From planned maintenance to urgent repair interventions, we deliver effective solutions that minimise downtime and restore system integrity with confidence.
-
We deliver engineered cable burial and protection solutions designed to safeguard subsea assets across a wide range of seabed conditions.
Our capabilities include cable burial using water jetting and mechanical rock trenching methods, as well as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) services for shore crossings and environmentally sensitive areas.
To ensure long-term protection, we provide rock dumping and mattressing solutions, as well as engineered protection systems such as manufactured cable ducts, articulated pipe, and polyurethane covers.
All burial and protection works are supported by comprehensive pre- and post-lay inspection and survey services, ensuring compliance, quality assurance, and asset integrity.
-
Our operations are supported by high-capacity cable storage and handling systems, including 3,000-ton and 600/1,000-ton cable carousels, enabling the efficient storage, management, and deployment of submarine power and telecommunications cables. These systems support smooth project execution by allowing cables to be securely stored, handled, and prepared for installation or repair operations while maintaining optimal cable integrity.
The 3,000-ton carousel system is designed for operational flexibility and rapid mobilisation, with components that can be transported using standard ISO containers and efficiently assembled on site. Together with our 600/1,000-ton carousel units, this capability supports a wide range of cable installation and repair campaigns, reducing mobilisation time while enabling reliable cable handling and deployment across diverse project environments.
-
We provide in-house design, engineering, and fabrication of specialised equipment to support efficient and reliable subsea installation and protection operations.
Our capabilities include modular cable installation spreads, adaptable marine support solutions, and project-specific burial tooling engineered to suit site conditions and operational requirements.
We also design and manufacture cable handling and burial equipment, as well as seabed stabilisation and cable protection systems using concrete or engineered mattresses to ensure long-term asset security.
-
We deliver comprehensive engineering studies to support safe, efficient, and cost-effective submarine cable projects from concept through execution.
Our services include cable route feasibility studies, cable lay equipment suitability assessments, and detailed cable installation engineering and analytical calculations.
We also provide cable burial and protection feasibility studies, equipment suitability evaluations, and maintenance and repair suitability studies to ensure optimal methodology selection, risk mitigation, and reliable long-term performance.
-
We provide end-to-end project management support across the complete project lifecycle, ensuring disciplined execution from planning through completion.
Our operations are supported by a Quality Management System compliant with ISO 9001:2015, with strong emphasis on HSEQ and quality control at every stage of delivery.
Backed by extensive subsea installation expertise within our core management team, we deliver projects safely, efficiently, and to the highest technical and quality standards.
-
We provide comprehensive marine survey and assessment services to support safe and efficient submarine cable installation projects.
Our capabilities include full marine surveys for cable installation, detailed cable route engineering, and cable burial assessment surveys to optimise route selection and installation methodology.
We also deliver pre- and post-installation surveys, as well as real-time survey and positioning support during cable installation, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and asset integrity throughout project execution.
