“Digitalisation of our subsea services and projects, autonomous capabilities and unmanned vessels are the cornerstones of our technology development strategy. Adding btwn’s competence and capacity will allow us to further ramp-up these efforts to the benefit of our customers,” says Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean.

In recent years, DeepOcean has successfully introduced digital twins and animations of subsea operations, and autonomous inspection drones, as part of its subsea offering with survey, IMR and construction work.

“btwn will strengthen our in-house development team and customer-facing digital innovation projects within all these areas. Further, our cooperation with the Remota JV, which provides Remote Operations Centers for maritime and offshore operations, complements this offering. Our primary focus is to help reduce operating costs and emissions for operators of offshore energy assets,” adds Mikaelsen.
