[5septiembre] The works for the laying of the submarine cable between Venezuela and Cuba are underway, with the arrival in the harbor of this city of the explorer ship RV Ridley Thomas. This specialized vessel is responsible for the sounding to determine the exact course the cable will have, said Anthony Pyne, director of the company of geological projects designated for this task.
The marine sounding began on May 5 in the vicinity of MaiquetÃa airport in Caracas, Venezuela, and continues for the over 5,340 kilometers to Siboney beach, Santiago de Cuba, reports the CMKC station's digital site.
The second stage, which runs from Jamaica to Aguadores, will have another 200 kilometers of length.
The submarine cable is one of the ALBA (Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America) projects, and will benefit Cuba and Venezuela, and will also provide communication options to other nations in the Caribbean.
Pyne noted the complexity of the sounding and highlighted its importance in the sense that it will determine the rigors that will require the installation of the cable starting next year.
”We already have the maps, but we are to define the crossing points,” said Pyne, who has extensive experience in similar investments in eight regions of the world, mainly in Asia and Oceania.
GEOCUBA specialists are participating in this effort for the exploration of shallow waters, which will use high tech equipment, ships and many hours of work in marine research, said Waldo Reboredo Arroyo, vice president of the Cuban-Venezuelan Telecomunicaciones Gran Caribe Company, created a year and a half ago.
