Revenue model

1. Custom ROV Systems: Design, development, and manufacturing of bespoke remotely operated vehicles tailored to specific customer requirements. Systems range from standard observation-class ROVs to specialized deep-diving research vehicles and custom industrial robots. Revenue is generated through one-time system sales with varying price points based on depth rating, sensor packages, and customization level.
2. Specialized Underwater Robots: Production of specialized cleaning robots including hull cleaners (ECOsubsea partnership) and net cleaners (StealthCleaner) for specific industry applications. These represent proprietary product lines with recurring deployment to commercial customers.
3. Training and Support Services: Customer training, installation, and technical support services bundled with system sales. The company provides comprehensive after-sales support including field installation and operator training.

Targeted at offshore service vessels and platforms.
• Hull Cleaner Underwater hull cleaning robot developed in partnership with ECOsubsea. Features a patented cleaning process that recycles close to 100% of debris removed from ships, filtering and returning clean water to the ocean while extracting hazardous material for destruction. Operates on vessels at anchor or in port. Targeted at ultra-large container ship and tanker owners seeking to reduce drag, fuel costs, and emissions.
• Net Cleaner (StealthCleaner) Specialized ROV developed for the aquaculture industry to clean fish farm nets. A full 6DOF ROV that can operate in free-flying ROV mode or net cleaning mode, with an innovative shape enabling cleaning in hard-to-reach places with a gentle touch. Patented vehicle, developed in collaboration with Ocean Innovations. Targeted at salmon farming operators.
• Research ROV Custom deep-diving research vehicle based on the Njord ROV platform with depth ratings ranging from 3000m to 6000m. Can be equipped with extensive sensor packages including dual 5-function electric manipulator arms, dual HD cameras, five SD cameras, ten LED lights, imaging sonar, USBL+DVL+FOG positioning, and salinity/turbidity sensors. Targeted at scientific institutions, treasure hunting companies, and exploration organizations.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• ECOsubseacoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerClose cooperation with ECOsubsea, described as the 'world-leading company' in hull cleaning. Ocean Robotics developed and builds the ECOsubsea hull cleaner line of products around ECOsubsea's patented cleaning process. The robots operate in major ports worldwide, cleaning large vessels while recycling debris. Ocean Robotics provides manufacturing and technical expertise while ECOsubsea contributes the patented cleaning technology and brand distribution.
• Ocean Innovations (ocein.no)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCollaboration with Ocean Innovations on the StealthCleaner net cleaning robot. Ocean Robotics was heavily involved in development and manufacturing of this patented vehicle and continues to support operations. The partnership enables specialized aquaculture industry solutions.
• Kystdesign (www.kystdesign.no)minorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorReferral partnership directing customers with work-class ROV needs to Kystdesign. Ocean Robotics states 'Are you looking for something bigger, in the work-class category? Please go to our partner www.kystdesign.no for the world's premier work-ROVs.' This is a complementary product referral rather than direct competition.

Direct peers

• Saab Seaeye: UK-based manufacturer of electric observation and light work-class ROVs (Falcon, Tiger, Sabertooth). Direct competitor to Ocean Robotics' Aegir and Njord lines in the observation-class segment, with overlapping customer base in offshore inspection, defense, and research.
• Kystdesign: Norwegian work-class ROV manufacturer (e.g., Supporter) and existing referral partner of Ocean Robotics. Builds larger hydraulic ROVs for the offshore industry, making it a complementary/competing peer in the broader underwater robotics category serving the same Nordic offshore and aquaculture-adjacent customers.
• VideoRay: US-based manufacturer of portable, modular observation-class ROVs widely used for inspection, defense, and research. Closely comparable to Ocean Robotics' Aegir 25/50 product positioning in terms of portability, modular sensors, and shallow-to-mid depth ratings.
• Deep Trekker: Canadian manufacturer of portable ROVs (DTG3, REVOLUTION, PIVOT) for inspection, aquaculture, and search/recovery. Comparable in target customers (aquaculture, port security, hull inspection) and modular design philosophy, though positioned toward more standardized, lower-priced systems.

Regional players

• Blueye Robotics: Norwegian underwater drone maker (Pioneer, Pro) with strong Nordic presence. Targets inspection, aquaculture, and research markets similar to Ocean Robotics but focuses on smaller, more standardized observation-class drones priced well below Ocean Robotics' 1M SEK entry tier.
