Introduction 

Welcome to the eighth edition of the Submarine Cable Almanac, one of our most popular reference 

tools. In the months since Issue 8 was released, 11 systems were added, 7 systems were removed 

and 53 Entries were updated with new information. 

In the following pages you will find a detailed list of major international submarine cable systems. This 

document serves as complement to our annual Cable Map and Submarine Cable Indsutry Report. 

We hope that you, our readers, will participate in this almanac as you’ve done with our previous products. 

There is always room for additional data, so let us know if there is something else we should include in 

future editions. Please let us know by completing our Submarine Almanac Update Form, available by 

clicking here, or by emailing almanac@subtelforum.com. 

Finally, I want to thank all of the sponsors, staff and dedicated readers that contributed to this Almanac. 

Your feedback has been invaluable.

State of Subsea 

Presented by 

The industry is at a transformational time in the submarine cable 

space, and there is a need to come together and exchange ideas and 

insights and work together toward cultivating a culture of innovation 

and collaboration across the entire sector. The goal of APTelecom’s 

‘State of Subsea’ DGM event series is to establish a forum for all 

industry players, and to improve the communication within the 

submarine cable industry for new models and ideas as a younger 

generation moves into the space.
