About
NKT GmbH & Co. KG
NKT – The Lifetime Partner for Your Cable System
NKT is a world leader when it comes to high voltage offshore cable systems and pioneered the industry’s first offshore HVDC link in 1954. Still today, we at NKT continue to innovate and are the first manufacturer to qualify and supply 525 kV for MI and XLPE insulation technology. From the state of the art production facilities in Cologne (Germany) and Karlskrona (Sweden), we are ready to supply submarine AC and DC cables to the highest standards, enabling the transmission of renewable energy from generation site or across countries.
Also, in case of issues with an existing transmission system, NKT is your partner. Whether onshore or offshore, every minute counts when it comes to power cable failure. Getting the cable up and running again quickly is crucial, as any downtime caused by external cable failure or other damage to your grid infrastructure carries a number of risks, especially economic ones. Costs in terms of revenue losses, penalties and fines may run into millions
Offshore Cable Service
Based on our almost 100 years of experience in cable repair, we have created a service level agreement that ensures appropriate availability of services and resources to our customers. Our latest offshore service is our guaranteed mobilisation time, whereby we can provide a fully mobilised vessel including cable handling systems within approximately 10 days. Irrespective of the cause of the disrupted power supply, in an emergency situation it is important to keep the number of interfaces involved to a minimum. Thanks to our extensive expertise, you can access all necessary services via a single point of contact, thus avoiding the need for coordination with external parties like vessel operators, marine contractors, fault-finding service providers and many more. This saves you valuable time.

Onshore Cable Service
To minimise power outages and ensure uninterrupted supply, you need a reliable service partner that focuses on the specific challenges presented by cable systems. This is the only way to ensure steady and sustained functionality. NKT relies on its extraordinary wealth of experience for the production and maintenance of a wide range of insulation technologies. From extruded (XLPE) and mass-impregnated cables to the legacy gas-pressure or oil-filled cables – still common in our cities – we know the technical requirements for every cable type. This makes us the ideal provider of onshore service products not only for new cable technologies but also for cable systems of older standards.
