C-Kore Systems: Expanding Horizons in Africa

C-Kore Systems, a leading provider of innovative subsea testing solutions, has seen remarkable growth in Africa, emerging as one of the company’s largest markets

C-Kore’s patented technology simplifies and speeds up subsea testing processes, ensuring reliability and efficiency in both electrical fault-finding and new (umbilical) installation markets. This growth is fuelled by the region’s increasing demand for reliable and efficient subsea testing solutions. C-Kore’s technology has found a receptive audience among African operators, who appreciate the ease and accuracy it brings to their operations.

The cornerstone of C-Kore’s success in Africa has been its fault-finding mobilisations, which have become the largest contributor to the company’s turnover in the region. By swiftly identifying and addressing electrical issues in subsea infrastructure, C-Kore helps operators minimise downtime and maintain optimal performance. This capability is crucial in an industry where operational efficiency directly impacts profitability.

While fault-finding remains significant, the market for new installations is also growing. African operators are increasingly investing in new subsea projects and turning to C-Kore for their advanced testing needs. The company’s latest technology, the subsea Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), is set to play a pivotal role in these new installations. C-Kore has simplified the task of performing OTDR measurements on subsea equipment. Using C-Kore’s new Subsea OTDR, operators can easily test optical fibers on the seabed without mobilising highly specialised personnel.

Supporting subsea infrastructure 

Cynthia Pikaar, sales and marketing director for C-Kore, says, “Our customers love how easy our tools are to use and appreciate that no extra personnel are needed to accompany the C-Kore equipment. The African market’s acceptance of C-Kore’s technology shows our strong reputation for innovation, service and quality. As the region builds more subsea infrastructure, we are ready to support this growth with our great service and tools that meet our customers’ needs.”

C-Kore Systems’ expansion in Africa highlights the region’s growing importance in the global subsea industry. With a strong focus on fault-finding mobilisations and a promising future in new installations, C-Kore is set to continue its success story in Africa.
