The contractual completion time of the two projects is approx. 10 months from signature of the respective contracts.
The submarine cables will be manufactured at Fulgor’s plant located at Soussaki, Corinth, Greece, where the state of the art facilities and equipment of the Company enables the production and testing of some of the longest submarine cables in continuous lengths on a worldwide scale. The land cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cables’ plant located at Thiva.
