Marine Shipboard Cables – Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Marine Cables

Marine Shipboard Cables for Commercial Vessels and Offshore Projects

Electrical cables are one of the most critical components on any vessel or offshore installation. Whether powering propulsion systems, switchboards, lighting, pumps, navigation equipment, or control systems, marine cables must perform reliably in some of the world's harshest environments.

At Marineboys Australia, we supply high-quality marine and offshore cables manufactured to internationally recognised marine standards, supporting shipowners, ship managers, shipyards, offshore contractors, and maintenance teams throughout Australia.

Why Marine Cables Are Different

Unlike standard industrial cables, marine cables are designed specifically for operation at sea.

They must withstand:

• Saltwater and high humidity

• Continuous vibration

• Mechanical stress

• Oil and chemicals

• High operating temperatures

• Fire hazards

• Confined installation spaces

Marine shipboard cables are engineered to provide long service life while maintaining electrical performance and safety.

Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Marine Cables

Modern vessels increasingly specify Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) cables.

These cables provide significant safety advantages during a fire by:

• Producing very low smoke

• Reducing toxic gas emissions

• Improving visibility during evacuation

• Minimising corrosion damage to onboard electrical equipment

LSHF cables are widely specified for:

• Passenger vessels

• Offshore platforms

• LNG carriers

• FPSOs

• Naval vessels

• Engine rooms

• Accommodation areas

Marine Cable Types Available

We can assist with a wide range of marine cable requirements, including:

Marine Power Cables

• Low Voltage (0.6/1kV)

• Medium Voltage

• High Voltage

Marine Control Cables

Suitable for:

• Control panels

• Machinery automation

• Alarm systems

• Engine monitoring

Instrumentation Cables

Designed for:

• Process control

• Signal transmission

• PLC systems

• Marine automation

Fire Resistant Marine Cables

These cables continue operating during a fire, helping maintain essential emergency systems including:

• Emergency lighting

• Fire pumps

• Alarm systems

• Communication systems

International Marine Standards

Quality marine cables should comply with recognised international standards, including:

• IEC 60092 Marine Cable Standards

• IEC 60332 Flame Retardancy

• IEC 61034 Low Smoke Performance

• IEC 60754 Halogen-Free Requirements

Many products are also approved by major marine classification societies including:

• ABS

• DNV

• Lloyd's Register (LR)

• Bureau Veritas (BV)

• Korean Register (KR)

• ClassNK

• RINA

These certifications ensure the cables meet the demanding requirements of marine and offshore environments.

• Bulk Carriers

• Tankers

• Container Ships

• LNG Carriers

• Offshore Supply Vessels

• Drill Ships

• FPSOs

• Offshore Platforms

• Tug Boats

• Naval Vessels

• Shipyards

• Port Facilities
