Revenue model

1. Asset Integrity Management and Inspection Services: Core professional services revenue from providing asset integrity management, inspection, and specialised repair and maintenance services to the oil, gas, and renewable energy industries. Services are delivered on a project/contract basis through globally positioned field teams.
2. Technology Licensing and Deployment: Revenue from licensing and deploying proprietary diverless technologies (ODIN, LIMPET, CLAM, JAWS, NoMan, etc.) for client-specific inspection and maintenance projects. First implementation of ODIN in Brazil for Petrobras marks a technology deployment milestone.

Core offering

EM&I provides asset integrity management, inspection, and specialised repair and maintenance services to the oil, gas, and renewable energy industries. The company delivers a portfolio of proprietary diverless technologies (ODIN, LIMPET, CLAM, JAWS, NoMan, STARFISH, HullGuard, ANALYSE, FlareSafe, WrapSight, ExPert) for inspection, maintenance, and repair of offshore structures including FPSOs, FLNGs, FSRUs, MODUs, fixed platforms, and floating offshore wind assets. Services are delivered on a project/contract basis through globally positioned field teams and a network of strategically located operational bases.

Product overview

EM&I Group offers a comprehensive integrated portfolio of asset integrity management services and proprietary diverless technologies for the oil, gas, and renewable energy industries. The company's core platform centers on its innovative diverless underwater inspection and maintenance solutions, including ODIN® (diverless UWILD), LIMPET™ (sea chest blanking), CLAM™ (robotic hull repair cofferdam), and JAWS™ (anode replacement system), all designed to eliminate the need for diver intervention. Supporting these flagship products are complementary technologies such as NoMan® (remote inspection with laser technology), STARFISH™ (remote ROV operations), HullGuard® (diverless ICCP), ANALYSE™ (risk-based inspection), FlareSafe™ (flare tip services), WrapSight® (piping repair management), and ExPert® (explosive atmosphere inspections). Together, these products form a unified ecosystem enabling safe, efficient, and cost-effective inspection, repair, and maintenance of offshore floating assets including FPSOs, FLNGs, FSRUs, MODUs, and fixed installations, as well as onshore gas plants and emerging floating offshore wind applications.

Products and services

• ODIN (Diverless UWILD) Diverless UWILD (Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry-Docking) solution that provides an innovative and safer alternative to traditional underwater inspection methods, enabling offshore asset inspections without the need for divers, work-class ROVs, or DSVs. Uses LIMPET technology for sea chest isolations, ODIN Plugs for overboard discharge isolation, and ODIN Access Ports for valve inspection from inside the hull. Used by oil and gas operators globally.
• ODIN PLUG Diverless Overboard Discharge Isolation system that provides secure isolation for repairs and maintenance of overboard discharge systems.
• LIMPET Intelligent Sea Chest Blanking technology enabling diverless sea chest isolation and blanking operations from inside the hull, eliminating external intervention requirements.
• CLAM Diverless Hull Repair solution using robotic cofferdam technology that enables repairs to be completed from inside the hull in a controlled environment, eliminating the need for divers.
• JAWS Diverless Anode Replacement System enabling the replacement of sacrificial anodes and ICCP anodes using ROVs and specialised proprietary tools without diver intervention.
• KING CRAB Revolutionary ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) system designed for advanced underwater inspection and maintenance operations.
• NoMan Remote Inspections technology using lasers and optical systems for confined space inspections without human entry, including NoMan PLUS which incorporates laser-based systems for tank deflection measurements.
• STARFISH Remote ROV Operations system enabling controlled and efficient remotely operated vehicle activities for offshore asset inspection and maintenance.
• ANALYSE Improved Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Solution that enhances inspection planning and prioritisation based on risk assessment methodologies.
• HullGuard Diverless ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) system providing underwater hull protection without the need for diver intervention.
• FlareSafe Novel Flare Tip Replacement technology for safe and efficient inspection and replacement of flare tip systems.
• WrapSight Temporary Piping Repair Inspection and Management system for monitoring and managing temporary repairs on piping systems.
• ExPert Revolutionary Explosive Atmosphere (Ex) Inspections system for hazardous area equipment verification and certification.
