Geosonic, a UAE-based offshore survey and positioning provider, completed a major campaign supporting the Farasan submarine cable project in Saudi Arabia. The project connects Farasan Island to the national power grid and strengthens regional infrastructure.
The Sharjah-based company worked with Hengtong Optic-Electric to deliver accurate survey data for subsea cable installation along Saudi Arabia’s west coast. This effort supports a broader offshore cable installation program designed to improve energy and communication networks.

The project includes more than 300 kilometers of submarine power cables and over 110 kilometers of submarine fiber optic cables. Geosonic provided survey and positioning services, including dimensional control on the cable lay barge, support for multicat vessels, and UXO and as-laid cable surveys.
Coordinated Survey Delivery Improves Offshore Execution
Geosonic supported every phase of the project, including construction readiness, offshore installation, and post-installation verification. As a result, the company ensured consistent data delivery and efficient offshore execution.
Faisel Chaudry, Director at Geosonic, emphasized that coordinated survey delivery played a key role in project success. He also highlighted the company’s close collaboration with Hengtong to maintain safe and efficient operations throughout the installation process.
