Cables and moorings, done properly
Our team has deep experience in mooring and subsea cable systems—across floating wind, marine energy, and traditional offshore sectors.
We focus on practical, workable designs that account for the real-world challenges of offshore delivery. That means early thinking around routing, tension, interfaces, and installation constraints – so there are fewer surprises later.
Whether you need support for a full array layout, single-anchor mooring design, or system reviews, we work as an extension of your team. Responsive when it counts, and focused on keeping things moving.
Practical offshore design
At Apollo, we focus on design that works offshore – not just on paper. We understand the constraints you’re working with: limited deck space, tight schedules, challenging interfaces.
That’s why our engineers take a practical approach. We think about buildability, installability, and the impact on the rest of your system. We’re used to working with developers, operators, and tier-one contractors to meet real project demands – whether that’s for FEED, detailed design, or late-life modifications.
We keep it straightforward. We solve problems early. And we aim to be a safe pair of hands when you need to move fast.
The PALM quick connection system
The PALM QCS has been developed to expedite hook-up and disconnection of cables and/or moorings for floating offshore renewables devices.
Typically, maintenance strategies for floating systems are based around tow to port. This can be expensive in terms of the marine spread and lost generation time.
The PALM QCS dramatically reduces costs by shortening the disconnection and reconnection durations, while simplifying the marine spread.
The PALM QCS has a unique, mechanical system that guides the electrical and fibre optic connectors together using only the action of a winch wire. Successful field trials were conducted during 2024, with multiple disconnect and reconnect operations offshore. A full-scale FEED project is in progress for an INTOG FOW site, paving the way for a pilot deployment during 2026.
