Cable Retriever is a purpose designed, all stern working cable ship, equipped with an XT600 remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

Stationed in the Far East, the vessel provides repair and maintenance services for cable owners in the South East Asia and Indian Ocean Cable Maintenance Agreement (SEAIOCMA) region.

Global Marine has been providing maintenance services continuously to SEAIOCMA since its inception in 1986 and has completed more than 600 repairs.
