Recovering a subsea cable takes more than a vessel. It requires a specialist team. Before any recovery begins, Mertech Marine's business development and environmental teams conduct due diligence: identifying marine-protected zones and other seabed users, so operations result in minimal disturbance to the ocean environment. Our marine division is run by an experienced team of cable recovery specialists. Once the cable reaches shore, it's our team of circular economy experts who break it down into copper, steel and plastic, ready to re-enter the supply chain. "Environmental responsibility and compliance are key priorities for us across all aspects of Mertech Marine's operations," says CEO Alwyn du Plessis. This is what expertise looks like at every stage. Not just on the water, but long after the cable reaches shore. #MertechMarine #SubseaCables #CircularEconomy #MarineOperations

MV Grace has arrived in California! Her arrival marks the start of offshore operations to recover three submarine cable shore ends along the California coast, following months of regulatory review, planning and preparation. Delivering a project across multiple locations takes careful coordination, from permitting and logistics to offshore recovery and recycling. Mertech Marine is proud to lead this turnkey decommissioning project, drawing on our cable recovery experience across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Mertech Marine Chief Executive Officer Alwyn du Plessis recently spoke with Telecom Review Asia at Submarine Networks World 2026. In the interview, he discussed Mertech Marine's commitment to sustainable, responsible subsea cable recovery and its plans to expand into value-added marine services. He also shared his views on the importance of collaboration across the subsea ecosystem, and on the role of resilience and responsible infrastructure management in the industry's future. “What stands out to me is the enormous potential our industry has in influencing how the world responds to many of these challenges. Submarine cables are fundamental infrastructure in an increasingly connected world, and that gives our industry both an opportunity and a responsibility.” Read the full article below: https://lnkd.in/deX6qzTu #MertechMarine #SubseaCables #CircularEconomy #MarineOperations #Sustainability #Infrastructure #SubmarineNetworksWorld2026

Today is International E-Waste Day. When we think about e-waste, phones, chargers and consumer devices often come to mind. But electronic equipment beneath the ocean also deserves attention. Subsea repeaters play a vital role in carrying data across oceans. When they reach the end of their operational life, they require responsible recovery and recycling. For more than two decades, Mertech Marine has helped turn retired subsea infrastructure into a source of valuable materials, supporting their return to the industrial supply chain. Responsible e-waste management extends far beyond what’s in our pockets. #MertechMarine #SubseaRepeaters #CircularEconomy #EWasteDay #ResponsibleRecycling

Another depot clearance completed! Mertech Marine has completed a clearance at the Taichung depot in Taiwan, removing more than 250 tonnes of cable, along with repeaters and kits over 4 days. Depot clearance is an important part of cable lifecycle management, freeing up storage space and enabling redundant materials to be recovered for recycling. If you have spare cable or equipment requiring removal, get in touch to discuss how Mertech Marine can support your depot clearance: [email protected] #SubseaCables #Taichung #MertechMarine

A cleaner coastline starts with people willing to make a difference. On 17 September, 20 Mertech Marine employees and family members spent the day at Beacon, Summerstrand, doing their part to care for the coastline. The beach cleanup was organised by WESSA as part of International Coastal Cleanup Day, bringing people together to remove litter and leave the coastline a little cleaner than we found it. Our work is closely connected to the ocean, so contributing to a cleaner marine environment is important to us, both through what we do and through the actions we take as a team. We’d like to thank WESSA for organising the initiative and for giving our people the opportunity to support the cleanup. We appreciate the work that goes into bringing communities together to care for our coastlines. #InternationalCoastalCleanup #ICC2026 #MertechMarine #OceanProtection #CircularEconomy
