The inaugural edition of the Cableship Codex establishes a new reference for understanding the global fleet of vessels supporting submarine cable deployment, maintenance, and repair. This issue profiles 50 cable ships and subsea support vessels, combining verified vessel specifications, AIS-derived activity analysis, geospatial mapping, and operational assessment to provide an unprecedented view of fleet deployment patterns and marine infrastructure coverage.
Featuring fleet-wide analytics, regional activity mapping, vessel capability data, and operational insights drawn from millions of AIS records, this first edition delivers a structured overview of the assets that underpin the world’s subsea communications infrastructure. As the foundation for future editions, the Cableship Codex brings greater visibility, consistency, and intelligence to one of the most critical yet least understood sectors of the global telecommunications industry.
