Section 1: Turnkey Contracts and the Submarine Cable System Market
Is submarine system project implementation as simple Is submarine system project implementation as simple as just “turning the key”?

Section 3: Purchasers as System Integrators
Purchasers take on responsibility of ensuring that the Purchasers take on responsibility of ensuring that the completed system performs correctly as an integrated whole

Purchasers as System Integrators
submerged plant and terminal equipment
system performs correctly as an integrated system performs correctly as an integrated whole rests with the purchaser

Purchasers as System Integrators
– Flexibility – Multi-vendor environment environment – Cheaper
– Multiple contracts – Increased Purchaser responsibility
Purchaser effort Purchaser risk/ responsibility Best solution Price

Conclusions
Benefits of turnkey supply have not always been realised in the submarine cable system market Purchasers who have the capability can perform the system integration themselves Revival of previous incarnation of industry?
