Stavsnas is a submarine cable landing point located in Sweden, positioned along the Baltic Sea coast. Two submarine cables make landfall here, connecting Sweden to neighbouring countries on the eastern and northern shores of the Baltic. The cables landing at Stavsnas establish direct links between Sweden and Estonia as well as Sweden and Finland, forming part of the regional submarine cable network that ties together the Baltic states and the Nordic countries.
The two cables together represent a corridor of regional connectivity across the Baltic Sea. Rather than serving intercontinental routes, the infrastructure at Stavsnas is oriented entirely toward intra-Baltic and Nordic links, connecting Sweden bilaterally to two distinct national destinations. This positions Stavsnas as a regionally focused landing point within the broader European submarine cable geography.
BCS North - Phase 1 is a submarine cable measuring 513 km in length, with a ready-for-service year of 1998. The cable connects Sweden and Finland, running beneath the Baltic Sea to link the two Nordic neighbours. It is one of the earlier Baltic submarine cable systems to have entered service during the late 1990s.
Sweden-Estonia (EE-S 1) is a submarine cable measuring 240 km in length, with a ready-for-service year of 1995. The cable connects Sweden and Estonia, providing a direct Baltic Sea link between the two countries. At 240 km, it is the shorter of the two cables landing at Stavsnas and was placed into service slightly earlier than BCS North - Phase 1.
Among submarine cable landing points in Sweden, Stavsnas sits alongside several peers of varying scale. Farosund leads with three cables, while Klagshamn and Stockholm each host two cables, the same count as Stavsnas. Borbby Strandbad, Byxelkrok, and Capri Strand each host a single cable, placing Stavsnas in the middle tier of Swedish landing points by cable count.
Stavsnas functions as a two-cable landing point, connecting Sweden directly to Finland via BCS North - Phase 1 and to Estonia via Sweden-Estonia (EE-S 1). Both cables serve regional Baltic Sea routes, and together they make Stavsnas a node with bilateral reach toward two distinct national destinations. The landing point does not serve as a single-cable terminus but rather as a modest multi-cable hub within the Baltic regional network.
In the regional submarine cable graph, Stavsnas represents one of several points where Swedish territory connects to the broader Baltic neighbourhood, extending Sweden's submarine cable reach northward toward Finland and eastward toward Estonia from a single coastal location.
