Boxfish Research

About

Designers and manufacturers of internationally recognised submersible Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Our systems provide the highest standards of visual and sonar inspection, non-destructive testing, light intervention/ work capabilities, as well as comprehensive diver and work-class ROV support.

We supply our equipment to service providers involved in the supply chain for offshore wind farm development. We intend to establish a fully equipped sales, support and maintenance base in Providence, RI.

Lightweight, easily and rapidly deployed by a team of 1-2 and rated to 1000m+, our systems are built to last for a decade or more. Maintenance costs and schedules are nominal and generally involve annual replacement of O-rings, seals and low-cost thrusters due to wear and tear.

Certifications

• CE, New Zealand Fernmark.
