Subocean knows that every project is unique which is why we always approach new ventures with a fresh outlook. Our aim is to deliver smart and innovative solutions with our diverse range of vessels and equipment – our assets – at the core.

We have the right subsea support vessels to meet individual project requirements. Setting Subocean apart is our vision and enterprise to adapt our assets for specific project needs - regardless of sector, regardless of location.

Indeed, we created an industry first in 2009 by becoming the first company to use a DP vessel equipped with cable ploughing technologies to install cables in the windfarm market – cutting cable installation time by up to 50%.

Our assets span the scope of subsea construction in marine renewables:

• An existing range of more than 30 barges, small support vessels and DP vessels for different applications
• Modifying and outfitting vessels with high-performance technology and equipment for customised results
• Specialist in-house personnel experienced in conversion and mobilisation operations

We plan every aspect of conversion and mobilisation to the very last detail, scrutinising deck layouts, shore side logistics, haulage and cranes – leaving nothing to chance. Our attention to detail never loses sight of our commitment to optimum safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness however tight the project timescale.

Subocean’s consistent investment in its assets and capabilities is integral to our industry-renowned ability to deliver. Our track record speaks for itself:

• In 2010, we mobilised the Normand Mermaid DP2 vessel and commissioned our large 7,000te capacity cable transport barge, the UR141
• In August 2009, the Polar Prince DP2 vessel was mobilised on a long term agreement as our main deep water array cable installation vessel
• We modified and deployed the cable laying barge, the ATM Discoverer, for longer export cables up to 5,500te capacity in April 2009
• We converted and mobilised the UR101 Barge in 2007 for shorter array and export cables

All of these assets are still operational in 2010.
