Launched in July last year, Ocean Infinity has been engaged in the development of new undersea data gathering techniques.

In the last one year, it has focused in the development of several processes to upgrade and refine the initial operational concepts to operate undersea.

In February this year, the company acquired a new HUGIN AUV System to strengthen its existing fleet of eight vessels. The acquisition will enable the company to undertake ice surveys.
