E-marine commissions MakaiLay software across installation and repair fleet

being added to the Cable Ship Niwa , with other ships to follow. “It is a great honour and achievement to get a vote of confidence from an experienced operator like E-marine,” said Dr Venkata Jasti, director of engineering software at Makai. “With their team coming on board, MakaiLay is now being used by over 90 per cent of the global fibre-optic cable laying fleet.” In addition to MakaiLay, E-marine PJSC will be using MakaiPlan Pro for pre installation planning in its offices. The E-marine team has completed training on both software products and plans to conduct more training as the software becomes fully adopted and integrated into the workflow. Omar Jassim Bin Kalban, CEO of E-marine, commented, “We’re looking forward to leveraging the advanced modelling and real-time control functionality of MakaiLay to tackle deep-water cable lays and repairs.” E-marine plans to use the software products on all future cable installation and repair projects. MakaiLay will allow for more precise control throughout the cable installation, with specific improvements in the deep-water areas. MakaiLay subsea cable installation software enables users to lay submarine cables with accuracy, speed, safety and reliability, reducing the risk of cable failures. The software has been rigorously tested and validated, and has been used on commercial lays and military installations to install more than 600,000km of cable worldwide. MakaiPlan Pro enables powerful and precise 3D dynamic simulations of submarine cable installations. Cable operators can quickly simulate an entire cable lay in advance at up to 50 times faster than real time. An entire trans oceanic lay simulation can be completed in one day. MakaiPlan Pro is an extension of the MakaiPlan cable route planning software, and includes all of the planning features of MakaiPlan.
