A shore-end pull-in is the final, critical phase of a submarine cable project where the cable is pulled from the water and up onto the land to connect to the onshore power grid. This operation is particularly challenging due to the need to navigate the surf zone and the varying terrain. The equipment used is similar to offshore operations but must be adapted for land use.

A typical shore-end setup includes:

• High-Capacity Hydraulic Pullers: These pullers are positioned on land to provide the primary pulling force.

• Specialized Roller Systems: A series of rollers and sheaves are strategically placed from the beach and up the access route to guide the cable and minimize friction.

• Cable drum stands or Trailers: Heavy-duty drum stands are used on land to manage the massive cable reels, ensuring a smooth and controlled payout.
