The seabed is becoming a new frontier of geopolitical competition.
Subsea cables, energy pipelines and critical underwater infrastructure underpin the global economy, yet much of this infrastructure remains difficult to monitor, defend and repair. As geopolitical tensions, maritime activity and contested waters intensify, the risk of disruption is no longer limited to conventional conflict.
Download the report to explore the emerging geopolitical risks facing Asia's seabed infrastructure, including the evolving threat landscape across the Baltic Sea, Red Sea, South China Sea and Strait of Hormuz, as well as the potential vulnerabilities emerging around the Strait of Malacca. Gain insight into the key risk factors shaping subsea security, from deliberate disruption and hybrid warfare to accidental damage, infrastructure concentration and limited underwater visibility — and understand why greater collaboration between defence, government, telecommunications, energy, maritime and technology stakeholders is becoming increasingly critical.
Discover where geopolitical pressure meets critical infrastructure — and what it means for the future of subsea security across Asia.
