Included activities starts
The activity starts with the production and import of "Power cable, for use in marine structures" in this region.
Included activities ends
The activity ends with providing the "Power cable, for use in marine structures" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.
Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include conductor stranding, conductor wrapping with polyester tape, mixing, insulation extrusion, cable reinforcement with non-woven fabric, sheath extrusion, inspection, and packaging processes.
Process Description
Cables are typically composed of several wires or groups of wires (each group containing at least two wires) twisted together, with each group insulated from the others, commonly helically twisted around a central core, and covered overall with a highly insulating sheath. The cable features flame-retardant and electrostatic shielding properties. This product is suitable for general electrical installations on various river and sea-going vessels, offshore oil platforms, and other marine structures.
