Depro AS, a specialist in high-performance subsea tooling for the offshore sector, has strengthened its long-standing partnership with VideoRay, a leading developer of portable underwater robotic systems.
This expanded collaboration reflects both companies’ shared commitment to advancing subsea inspection and intervention technologies for the global energy market.
At the heart of this partnership is the seamless integration of VideoRay’s Mission Specialist ROVs with Depro’s BLUEROC inspection system and compact Buddy ROV skid. Originally designed for deployment on work-class Remotely Operated Vehicle platforms, these tools are now being adapted to enhance the agility and effectiveness of portable ROV operations.
By combining Depro’s engineering expertise with VideoRay’s innovative robotics, the collaboration aims to deliver highly reliable, versatile solutions tailored for complex offshore applications. Clients will benefit from improved operational responsiveness, greater efficiency, and significantly reduced lead times.
Kåre Stokkeland, CEO of Depro AS, commented, “We are excited about the possibilities that this strengthened partnership brings. By integrating VideoRay’s latest ROV technologies into our service offerings, we are elevating the standards for underwater inspection and intervention.”
Chris Gibson, CEO of VideoRay LLC, added, “This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to advancing technology in the offshore industry. Together, we are better positioned to address the evolving needs of our clients worldwide. This is a great example of how VideoRay’s Integrator Program is expanding capabilities and enhancing our customers’ experience.”
This joint initiative marks a major step forward in providing robust, mission-ready technologies to support oil and gas operators and other energy stakeholders in deep-water environments worldwide.
