08 Jun Saab UK marks 40 years of subsea robotics innovation
London, (Oilandgaspress) – Saab UK is marking 40 years of Seaeye subsea robotics, innovation and engineering excellence focused on improving safety and performance in underwater operations.
Founded in 1986 to address the risks of deep water offshore operations, Seaeye pioneered electric remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that reduce human exposure in challenging subsea environments. This safety led approach has remained central to the company’s development and was further strengthened when Seaeye became part of Saab in 2007, supporting long term investment and global growth across commercial and defence markets.
Today, operating in the UK from its Fareham campus, Saab produces the world’s largest range of electric ROVs from a single manufacturer, with over 1,100 systems delivered to customers in 74 countries. Its systems are used across 13 industries, including critical undersea infrastructure, offshore energy and marine science, helping customers manage risk in complex and demanding environments.
Over the years, Seaeye vehicles have been used to support a huge range of applications, from surveying a long lost 18th Century ship wreck by the Colombian navy, to safely inspecting underwater energy infrasture in crocodile infested waters in Indonesia.
Andy Fraser, Group Managing Director at Saab UK, said:
“Seaeye’s 40 year history reflects a consistent commitment to practical innovation driven by the need to keep people safe below the surface. That achievement is rooted in the expertise, dedication and ingenuity of the people behind the technology, whose focus on real operational challenges continues to deliver trusted capability for customers around the world.”
