In briefOperators are adding acoustic sensing and sharing vessel tracking data after two cables were damaged in a month.
Two data cables and one power interconnector in the Baltic Sea were damaged in separate incidents in September.
Operators are now sharing vessel movement data and deploying fibre-based acoustic sensing that can detect anchors dragging near a cable.
Governments in the region are also reviewing how quickly traffic can be rerouted when a link is lost.
