• Management of the bending radius:
All operations respect the minimum bending radius of the optical cables, thanks to the central cones of the tanks, bow and stern pulleys and cable drums all with a diameter greater than or equal to 3 metres raggio di curvatura minimo dei cavi ottici, grazie a coni centrali delle vasche, pulegge di prua e di poppa e tamburi del cavo tutti con diametro maggiore o uguale a 3 metri
