New Version 9 Thumbdrive

OFCC Version 9 is available for your plotters adding the pre-lay NCP Cable route. It was installed off Pacific City in May 2017. Ver. 9 also contains a slightly redrawn RSN PC01B Science subsurface platform boundary off OOI-RSN cable segment 4 and segment 3 to protect midwater gear. Version 9 will be revised when we have the final as-laid NCP coordinates. This fall there will be a Version 10 including the new Hawaiki Submarine Cable which will be installed off the Oregon coast in October. To get a Ver.9 thumbdrive, stop by the OFCC office at 2021 Marine Dr., Suite 102; email: staff@ofcc.com; or call (503) 325-2285.

FASTER Cable Completed
The OFCC and Google began working on a route for the FASTER cable in July 2014. As part of this process, Google and OFCC reps worked with fishermen on their trawlers in Charleston to design the route to maximize burial in the fishing grounds by using the local knowledge of the trawl fleet. This was highly effective, as the route resulted in good burial through the trawl fishing grounds out to over 800 fms. Google continues to work closely with and has good relations with the OFCC.

The Oregon Fishermen's Cable Committee is an association of concerned Oregon commercial trawl fishermen who have negotiated cooperative agreements with fiber optic cable companies to protect the integrity of the fiber optic network and the fishing grounds.

Since its inception, the committee works to follow the goals of its charter - to facilitate communication, coordination and cooperation between the fishing industry and the submarine cable industry and to inform the fishing fleet of appropriate operation procedures.
