Redefining underwater inspection, maintenance, and repair

Kongsberg Ferrotech’s mission is to redefine the way we inspect, maintain, and repair underwater installations. By implementing existing, qualified, and proven topside solutions into our family of robotic systems, we solve challenges in demanding ocean spaces.

Kongsberg Ferrotech designs and manufactures advanced robots, to deliver robotic services of underwater installations such as subsea pipelines, offshore wind turbines, and subsea power cables. Our robots are designed with underwater habitats, which incorporates a variety of tools, that opens completely new ways of performing inspection and repairs in one single mobilization.

Kongsberg Ferrotech was established in 2014 in the heart of the Norwegian subsea valley. Since then, we have focused on developing advanced robotic systems that solves complex problems and break down barriers.
