Our hire pool

Navigation

Our navigation systems give your vehicles and vessels the confidence to operate accurately, even in challenging or GNSS‑denied environments. From autonomous platforms to crewed operations, our factory‑prepared navigation technology helps you stay on track and focused on the mission.

Positioning

Our positioning systems deliver trusted underwater accuracy — from centimetres to kilometres — wherever your project takes place. Hiring direct ensures your positioning spread is correctly configured, fully compatible and ready to perform in real‑world subsea conditions.

Monitoring

Our monitoring solutions provide reliable, long‑term insight into subsea assets and environments. Hiring gives you fast access to proven systems for seabed, structural or environmental monitoring without the commitment of owning and maintaining long‑term hardware.

Communications

Our acoustic communications systems keep your subsea assets connected — enabling command, control and data transfer when cables and radio aren’t an option. Our hire fleet supports secure, dependable communication between vessels, vehicles and seabed instruments throughout your project.
