About this report
Europe’s concern over maritime energy infrastructure protection has moved beyond episodic alarm and is beginning to take shape as a distinct industrial and regulatory problem. The issue is no longer confined to submarine data cables or framed only in terms of abstract resilience.
It now concerns a broader set of exposed assets, including LNG terminals, subsea electricity interconnectors, offshore and subsea gas infrastructure, landing points, and other maritime energy nodes whose disruption would carry immediate consequences for security of supply, market stability, and strategic autonomy.
