Prysmian Group was awarded a contract for the supply of high-tech power cables for the new Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal in Macau (P.R.China), strategically important infrastructure linking the sea transportation in the Guangdong area (South China) covering Macau, Hong Kong and Zhuhai.

The contract, worth a total of €5 million, concerns in particular the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of special fire-resistant cables, in cooperation with BBC Cable Engineering, a local and very experienced partner in the area.

The high-tech power cables feature electrical and mechanical characteristics able to increase the level of safety in case of fire and stay functional even if directly exposed to fire, ensuring the supply of energy and the operation of signalling systems. The completion of the installation is scheduled for the end of 2013.
