ZTT has the capability to manufacture long continuous length HVAC submarine cables without factory splices as it is equipped with the state-of-the-art VCV lines, vertical assembly lines with big carousels and enough outdoor storage carousels for completed cables. Moreover, the wharf is only 80 meters from the storage carousels, which can minimize the risk during cable load out.
