Increase in offshore electrification projects and inter-continental power distribution.
This in turn drives new markets for inspection and maintenance using new and more efficient technologies.
Increase investments in renewable sources of energy and favorable government policies:
Expected growth with a CAGR 10% during 2021 - 2026

Rising number of deep-water activities and a clear directive from majors to replace traditional vessel based IMR solutions with robotics and unmanned solutions.
Expected growth with a CAGR 24% during 2021 - 2026

Global demand for batteries and metals for the renewable sector is the main growth driver for this market.
Expected growth with a CAGR 37% during 2021 - 2026

First commercial operator of the Eelume system

Acquiring an Eelume robot is part of Argo's strategy to transform the ocean space inspection industry through robotics, sensors, and data analytics technology, reducing the operational carbon footprint whilst making inspections more efficient and cost effective.
"We believe that this is just the beginning of a major shift in how the industry conducts underwater operations. There is a need in the market for this type of solution, and we anticipate a significant requirement for more robots of this type in the long term," says Trond Crantz, CEO, Argeo
Company, Kongsberg, Eelume
Significant direct cost reduction
Human and environmental benefits


| Fastest and most cost-effective survey solutions |
• A significantly more flexible and faster pure-play provider not dependent on the shipping model • More than 50%-time savings and 60% cost reduction compared to traditional ROV survey solutions |
|---|---|
| Significantly reduced emissions |
• Minimized need for vessel infrastructure and up to 60% reduction in CO2 emissions from operations |
| AUVs provide more effective data acquisition |
• Lowers the number of operators and allows for smaller support/"mother" vessels • Allows for higher speed and more effective data acquisition than by using ROVs |
| Improved data quality |
• AUVs improve the image resolution and data quality by bringing the sensors closer to their targets |
