The International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC) is wrapping up its 2024 ICPC Plenary in Singapore at the Orchard Hotel. Mr. Douglas Njenga, Director Special Projects and Regulatory Affairs -Telecoms at WIOCC, is set to share valuable insights during his session which addresses the regulatory landscape for submarine cables in Africa and the associated challenges in ensuring regulatory compliance. Indeed no decisions about Africa should be made without just representation from those who would be most directly impacted.
Africa’s future in this rising tide of modernization through innovation and adaptation is crucial to global environmental and economic sustainability and resiliency -especially when accounting for emergency preparedness measures.
The ICPC mission is to be the world’s leading organisation promoting submarine cable protection and resilience. The ICPC vision is a global network of reliable and resilient submarine cables that coexist with the marine environment. To foster this mission and vision, the following concepts will be covered in this year’s plenary that aligns to the ICPC slogan of sharing the seabed and oceans in harmony.
- Applying new and emerging technologies
- Learn from project case studies
- Understand emerging issues, challenges, and proposed solutions
- Operating in crowded marine areas
- Managing increasing regulation
- Defining sustainability in relation to cable protection
