Smart, lightweight, retractable and easily deployable cable gangways for submarine shore supply

To develop smart, lightweight weight, retractable and easily deployable cable gangways with cable housing for submarine shore supply and shore charging cables. The same are always required when the submarine is alongside. Presently, there is a big shortage of these cables due to their unnatural wear and tear. To avoid this, it is proposed to design and develop a small and smartly deployable gangway for submarines for housing and routing these cables from the jetty till the shore supply and charging points. This light and portable gangway is essential for the submarines for shore supply and shore charging both. In the absence of these gangways the cables get damaged while coiling between the jetty and the submarine and/ or pontoons. This not only involves huge financial loss but also is a severe safety issue as these damage cables pose high risk of electric shock, short circuit, fir and thus require continuous repairs. Several instances of minor-fires have happened in the past on these cables.
