EIVA and Tuco Marine have formed a partnership to create integrated autonomous systems for inspecting subsea assets, including cables for renewable energy. EIVA specializes in underwater surveying software and equipment, while Tuco Marine produces unmanned surface vessels (USVs). Their collaboration will utilize the ProZero 8m Naval Intelligence USV from Tuco to deploy EIVA’s ViperFish, a remotely operated towed vehicle (ROTV) that captures high-resolution images and maps seabed conditions.
Christian Thomsen, CEO of EIVA, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the market demand for fully integrated systems for autonomous subsea asset surveys. Jonas Pedersen, Managing Director of Tuco Marine, noted that combining their USV technology with EIVA’s ROTV enables more thorough and frequent monitoring of critical subsea infrastructure compared to traditional methods.
Additionally, EIVA’s highly regarded ScanFish solution is widely used for unexploded ordnance surveys, while the recently launched ViperFish is specifically designed for integration with USVs based on user feedback. The quality of data generated by this new system is enhanced through collaborations with the Covelya Group, which includes prominent companies like Sonardyne and Wavefront Systems.
