It will provide users with additional reassurance when selecting Hawke International's cable glands for use in ABS listed offshore oil and gas installations and FPSO vessels.

Hawke's Managing Director, James Phillips commented "Our cable glands are safety critical products used in extreme environments to protect equipment from ingress by moisture and to prevent the ignition of potentially explosive gas and dust.

The ABS approval is a valuable further endorsement of our capability to protect life and capital assets.".
