The first call-off for a test nearshore in Norway is already on the way. The Sabertooth will dock autonomously and inspect subsea infrastructure in AUV mode, using onboard sonar and cameras.

As Peter Erkers, Head of Strategy, commented: “This is our first commercial contract in autonomous subsea inspection and the right partner and platform to do it with.”

This test represents PXGEO’s first step into a market where unmanned operations are becoming the standard.
