Who are we?
TRAVOCEAN was created in Marseille in 1977 to meet the demand for marine works.
In 1978, the French National power utility EDF contracted us for the installation of 2 pairs of subsea power cables, each 45 km long, between FRANCE and ENGLAND (“IFA 2000” link).
This project was the first of a long series within the power cable industry.
In 1998, the company became a 100% subsidiary of the LD ARMATEURS group and was renamed LD TRAVOCEAN.
For the last 40 years, we have progressively diversified our position in the offshore oil and gas industry and in the sector of submarine telecommunication cable, and these last years in windfarms sector.
Today
LD TravOcean has the know-how and skills of around 150 employees. Our experience in the engineering of cable installation, the development of associated equipment and the management of site operations worldwide allow us to offer our clients a flexible and comprehensive range of services.
To date, LD Travocean has 3 subsidiaries: LDTVO Arabian Gulf Marine Construction L.L.C. in the United Arab Emirates, LD Travocean B.V. in the Netherlands and LD Travocean Australia in Australia.
