The present invention relates to the technical field of subsea power cables. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a high voltage power cable comprising a cable core surrounded by an insulation system, wherein the cable core comprises conductor elements and a water blocking composition, wherein the method comprises the steps of stranding the conductor elements to obtain a stranded bundle of conductor elements, introducing the water blocking composition in the voids left in the stranded bundle of conductor elements, degassing of the water blocking composition, obtaining the cable core, and surrounding the insulation system coaxially around the cable core. The present invention further relates to a high voltage power cable produced by the method according to the invention and a use of the high voltage power cable.

A power cable comprising a joint, wherein a first conductor end (33) comprising a first tension element (35) is electrically and mechanically connected to a second conductor end (33') with a second tension element (35'), wherein the joint comprises a compression ferrule (10) with a longitudinal aperture, wherein the compression ferrule comprises at least two compression zones (20) that have been compressed respectively onto the first conductor end (33) and the second conductor end (33') inserted into the aperture of the compression ferrule from opposite sides is disclosed.

An offshore system including: a dynamic submarine power cable, a bend stiffener having a lower end and a top end, the bend stiffener having a central channel extending from the lower end to the top end, the central channel receiving the dynamic submarine power cable with a radial spacing between an inner surface of the central channel and an outer surface of the dynamic submarine power cable along the length of the dynamic submarine power cable arranged in the bend stiffener, the radial spacing forming a longitudinal water channel between the bend stiffener and the dynamic submarine power cable, and an offshore structure tube connected to the bend stiffener, wherein the offshore structure tube has an inner tube channel in fluid communication with the longitudinal water channel, and wherein A) the offshore structure tube has a through-opening extending from the inner tube channel through a wall of the offshore structure tube to enable water flowing from the lower end through the bend stiffener to exit the offshore structure tube via the through-opening to provide water cooling of the dynamic submarine power cable in the bend stiffener, or B) the bend stiffener has a radial through-opening arranged within ¼ of a total axial length of the bend stiffener, defined by a distance between the lower end and the top end, from the top end to enable water flowing from the lower end through the bend stiffener to exit the bend stiffener via the radial through-opening to provide water cooling of the dynamic submarine power cable in the bend stiffener.
