FOREWORD
W
elcome to the eighteenth edition of the Submarine Cable Almanac, one of our most popular reference tools. In this issue we updated 154 systems and added 1 new system.
Coinciding with the recent release of our new interactive Submarine Cables of the World online map, we have added a “News” field, where you can find the current news related to a cable system, if available. If you’re interested in finding a specific system, or wish to see all systems in a region, simply type that name or region into the search function. We hope that you, our readers, will participate in this almanac as you’ve done with our previous products. There is always room for additional data, so let us know if there is something else we should include in future editions. Please let us know by completing our Submarine Almanac Update Form, available by clicking here, or by emailing

Submarine Cable Almanac
Finally, I want to thank all of the sponsors, staff and dedicated readers that contributed to this Almanac. Your feedback has been invaluable.
