First Marine Solutions and Bedrock Form Strategic Partnership to Enhance Subsea Surveying in Europe

First Marine Solutions and Bedrock Form Strategic Partnership to Enhance Subsea Surveying in Europe

First Marine Solutions has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership with Bedrock Ocean Exploration to enhance autonomous subsea survey capabilities across the UK and Europe. This collaboration will establish a UK and European operational hub for Bedrock’s autonomous ocean intelligence technology at FMS’ Aberdeen headquarters, integrating Bedrock’s technology with FMS’ offshore expertise. The partnership is significant as it allows for the deployment of Bedrock’s autonomous underwater vehicles at FMS’ facility, enabling local operations and maintenance without the need for equipment transport to the United States. This arrangement aims to provide clients in offshore energy and subsea infrastructure with a comprehensive solution that combines data acquisition, operational support, and industry-leading survey capabilities. Looking ahead, both companies plan to work together to promote their new capabilities and their impact on maritime industries. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
