Marineboys supplies IEC 60092 compliant marine shipboard cables, including LSHF, power, control and instrumentation cables for commercial vessels and offshore projects throughout Australia.
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

-
IEC 60092 Marine Cable Standards
-
IEC 60332 Flame Retardancy
-
IEC 61034 Low Smoke Performance
