An offshore cable pull-in, from a cable laying vessel to an offshore substation or platform, requires a robust and specialized equipment package. The core components of a successful pull-in include:

• Powerful Pulling Winches: High-capacity winches are needed to handle the immense pulling force required for long, heavy submarine cables. The winches must be durable and resistant to the corrosive marine environment.

• Offshore Sheaves and Rollers: Specialized sheaves and rollers are used to guide the cable safely from the water up to the platform. These accessories are designed to handle the cable's large diameter and weight while maintaining its minimum bending radius.

• Pull-in Heads: A specialized pulling grip or head is attached to the submarine cable to provide a secure connection to the pulling winch. This head is often custom-made to handle the specific size and tensile strength of the cable.
