Umbilical Reel (Subsea)

Umbilical Reel (Subsea)

A Subsea Umbilical Reel is a heavy-duty storage and deployment system designed to safely transport, store, deploy, and retrieve subsea umbilicals used in offshore oil and gas operations. Subsea umbilicals carry hydraulic fluids, electrical power, fibre-optic communication, and chemical injection lines between offshore facilities and subsea production equipment. Umbilical reels ensure controlled handling of these critical lines, preventing damage during installation, maintenance, and recovery.

Our Subsea Umbilical Reels are available for sale and lease, providing dependable cable handling solutions for offshore drilling, subsea construction, and field development projects.
