Problem
Traditional subsea inspection and intervention operations rely on large, crewed vessels, leading to high operational costs, significant carbon emissions, and weather-dependent limitations. These factors restrict accessibility and efficiency in critical subsea tasks.
Solution
HonuWorx offers an uncrewed subsea inspection and intervention system that eliminates the need for large crewed vessels, significantly reducing operational costs and carbon emissions. Their system utilizes a submersible mothership, Loggerhead, to deploy and support subsea robotic operations in all weather conditions. The edge-cloud communications platform enables real-time collaboration and control of robotic systems, connecting geographically distributed stakeholders with subsea robotic operations to accelerate decision-making and improve results. This approach enhances accessibility, reduces risk, and provides unprecedented control for the future of subsea work.
Target Audience
The primary customers are in the offshore energy, defense, and blue economy sectors who require efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly subsea inspection and intervention solutions.
