Support services
With the aim of ensuring improved customer service, Prysmian is also working
on the development of an increasing number of support services, such as the periodic monitoring of
installed cables and systems (partly to avoid possible malfunctions and to ensure prompt repairs of
any defective or damaged parts, to prevent emergencies and optimise maintenance).

Prysmian is strongly committed to making ongoing improvements to its
logistics and distribution services. Prompt and reliable deliveries as well as product availability
are part of Prysmian's success, and an important element in ensuring customer satisfaction. This is

The "Giulio Verne" vessel
Prysmian enjoys the competitive edge of owning the “Giulio Verne”, one of
just a handful worldwide of high-capacity cable-laying vessels.
The vessel “Giulio Verne” is one of the most advanced and well equipped cable-ship in the
world, specialized in laying technologically advanced submarine energy cables even under severe
meteomarine conditions, thus representing a real strategic asset for Prysmian.
