LS Cable expands push into North American marine infrastructure market

LS Cable & System said it showcased products for offshore infrastructure at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC 2026), held in Houston, Texas, from May 4 to 7.

OTC is a leading exhibition attended by global offshore energy and plant companies, featuring key technologies for offshore platforms, vessels and subsea infrastructure.

Investment in subsea power grids and offshore plants is driving continued growth in North America’s offshore infrastructure market. As offshore energy projects grow in scale and demand for long-distance power transmission rises, LS Cable & System is moving to gain an early foothold with subsea and other specialized offshore cables.

Offshore cables must withstand prolonged exposure to harsh conditions, including ultraviolet radiation, salt, seawater and mud, requiring high durability and insulation stability. Shipboard cables must also maintain reliable performance amid vibration and repeated bending. LS Cable & System has secured reliable operation of offshore infrastructure with materials and design technologies tailored to these conditions.

The company has also obtained certifications from nine major classification societies worldwide, meeting the quality standards and capability requirements for offshore projects in North America and Europe.

LS Cable & System is demonstrating its long-distance transmission capabilities with a range of high-capacity power transmission products, including 525-kV-class HVDC subsea cables and bus ducts. Another strength is its integrated delivery system, covering design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance through collaboration with LS Marine Solution, a specialist subsea installation company.

LS Cable & System said reliability in harsh environments, high-capacity long-distance transmission technology and installation experience are essential in offshore infrastructure. Building on its experience delivering global projects, the company said it will strengthen its integrated product and installation capabilities to win more contracts in North America.
