Oceaneering Expands Vision Platform with Subsea Module for Engineering‑Grade Integrity Visualization
Oceaneering International, Inc. announced Vision Subsea, a new module within the cloud‑based Vision 3D data visualization software platform developed by GDi, an Oceaneering company. The module presents engineering-grade point cloud data generated during ROV operations, giving engineers a measurable, contextual view of subsea asset integrity to better enable identification of anomaly location, dimensional checks, and intervention planning.The module addresses common integrity challenges from fragmented drawings and reports to video lacking spatial context, by consolidating inspection evidence into
Deeply Innovative: Drivers in Subsea Defense
platforms continue to transform maritime defense by expanding coverage and reducing operational costs. Portable ROVs from VideoRay have become standard equipment for U.S. Navy explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams, enabling rapid, expeditionary deployment with minimal logistical overhead.Oceaneering International is making waves with its Freedom AUV, recently selected by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in 2024 as a prototype Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) for the U.S. Navy. The vehicle has already conducted successful Navy demonstrations—undocking, obstacle avoidance
Oceaneering Inks $180M Subsea Robotics Contracts with Petrobras
U.S.-based subsea services and technology firm Oceaneering International has through its Brazilian subsidiary Marine Production Systems do Brasil (MPS) secured multiple subsea robotics contracts from Petrobras.The contracts were awarded during the second quarter of 2025, following a competitive tender.The anticipated aggregate revenue of the contracts is approximately $180 million.Oceaneering will provide work class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services, specialized tooling packages, and survey services onboard multiple anchor handling and ROV support vessels working on Petrobras projects offshore
Oceaneering Awarded Funding for Rosyth Cable Manufacturing Facility
Oceaneering’s Rosyth, Scotland, umbilical and cable manufacturing facility has secured grant funding from Scottish Enterprise (SE). The funding will support Oceaneering’s floating offshore wind dynamic cable qualification projects.The immediate project will make use of existing manufacturing equipment at the Rosyth facility for the initial phase of research and development. Once the product has been designed and certified, Oceaneering aims to invest in new equipment and machinery for added project capacity.Suzanne Sosna, Director for Energy Transition, SE, commented: “Scotland
Supersize It: The U.S. Navy Is Seeking an Ultra-Large AUV
hulls. Snakehead’s fate has largely been sealed; the prototype vehicle is now designated as a test platform and is unlikely to transition to a program of record, while the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has awarded prototype contracts for commercial off the shelf (COTS) large AUVs to Kongsberg, Oceaneering, and Anduril Industries A recent GAO report indicated that Orca continues to suffer from delays and ballooning costs related to challenges with autonomy, navigation, and endurance, and concluded that it too may fail to become a program of record. Prior to the GAO report, in April of this year
Oceaneering Upgrades Survey Vessel for Simultaneous Autonomous Missions
U.S.-based subsea services and technology firm Oceaneering has completed a major upgrade of its Ocean Intervention II oceanographic research vessel, equipping it to perform simultaneous autonomous offshore survey missions.The retrofit, carried out in early 2025 on the 25-year-old vessel, has made it capable of launching and recovering both uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).The vessel, originally launched in 2000 for geophysical and geotechnical survey work, has been outfitted with new navigation systems, hull-mounted sensors, cloud-enabled data infrastructur
Island Frontier MSV Wraps Up West Africa Campaign for Oceaneering
Island Frontier multi-service vessel (MSV), owned by Island Offshore, has completed another campaign in West Africa for Oceaneering, ahead of embarking on a new project in the region.As part of the campaign, Island Frontier MSV delivered spool-piece installation and light construction work for Oceaneering.The vessel is now preparing for its next project in the region and is expected to return to the North Sea in August, according to the U.S.-based subsea services and technology firm.Delivered in 2003, Island Frontier is a 106-meters long vessel suitable for subsea construction and equipment installation
