“We’ve worked hard on improving
the functionality and user-friendliness
of Makai’s software suite, especially
for subsea power cables. Helping
our customers succeed in their route
engineering, installation planning, and
at-sea cable laying operations is what
drives us.”
Makai’s recent purchasers include:
China Submarine Cable Construction
Co; Kokusai Cable Ship Co Ltd (Japan);

Makai
provides
clients
with
comprehensive software tools and
training to span the entire cable project,
from inception to installation. The software
suite consists of MakaiPlan, for route
planning and engineering; MakaiPlan Pro,
to identify installation risks and prepare a
detailed installation plan before going to
sea; and MakaiLay to enable users to lay
submarine cables with the highest level
of accuracy, speed, safety, and reliability
while dramatically reducing the risk of
cable failures.
Makai software has been rigorously tested
and validated, and is said to have been
used by over 75 percent of the global
fleet of cable ships to successfully install in
excess of 400,000km of cable worldwide.
