What is critical underwater infrastructure and why does it matter?

Critical underwater infrastructure (CUI) includes submarine cables and other underwater assets that are essential to global communications and energy supply. Damage to these vital assets can have far-reaching consequences for businesses, communities and economies.

Kordia’s Maritime Operation Centres (MOC) combine advanced maritime surveillance technology with experienced operators to identify potential threats to critical underwater infrastructure and enable early intervention before damage occurs. With proven capability in New Zealand and Europe, we deliver 24/7 monitoring to help protect the infrastructure the world relies on.

Proactive protection for critical underwater assets

The cables that connect countries and continents are particularly vulnerable in shallow waters and busy shipping routes. Anchoring, fishing activity and other vessel movements can pose significant risks, with even minor contact potentially compromising a cable's integrity.

Kordia’s proactive approach to monitoring combines intelligent surveillance, early warning and direct communication with vessels to help prevent incidents before they occur.

Our monitoring gives infrastructure owners and operators an additional layer of protection against costly disruption.
