Full lifecycle project management for a multi-island submarine cable system in the Marshall Islands.

the challenge

The MINTA Re-Connect system spans remote islands in the Marshall Islands, where limited infrastructure and geographic dispersion create significant logistical and operational challenges. Transporting materials, coordinating crews, and aligning installation activities across isolated locations requires careful planning and continuous oversight.

Dependency on constrained local resources and long supply chains increases the risk of delays and cost escalation. Effective coordination across multiple stakeholders, workstreams, and timelines is critical to maintaining delivery performance and ensuring successful system implementation.

project goals

  • Provide full lifecycle implementation management

  • Coordinate engineering, procurement, and installation activities

  • Maintain control of schedule, cost, and technical delivery

the result

WFN established structured project governance, improving coordination across engineering, procurement, and installation workstreams. Enhanced reporting and stakeholder alignment reduced execution risk. The project is progressing with controlled timelines, improved visibility, and a clear path through installation and commissioning.
