Core offering

Unique Group is an integrated subsea and offshore solution provider that designs, manufactures, sells, and rents specialized equipment including Unmanned Surface Vessels (Uni-Mini, Uni-Pact, Uni-Max), subsea excavation systems (Uni-FlowX CMFE), diving and life support equipment (SPHL, saturation dive systems, transport chambers), buoyancy and water weight products (SeaSerpent, Water Weights), and Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS). The company complements its proprietary equipment portfolio with bespoke engineering services, installation, commissioning, and operational support for subsea projects across offshore oil and gas, renewable energy, decommissioning, defense, aquaculture, and research markets. Revenue is generated through direct equipment sales, equipment rentals, and professional engineering services delivered through a global network of 18 offices.

Product overview

Unique Group is a global provider of subsea technologies offering integrated solutions across six key areas: Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for autonomous survey and inspection operations, Survey Equipment for geophysical and positioning applications, Diving and Life Support systems for saturation diving operations, Buoyancy and Water Weight solutions for load testing, Subsea Mechanical Equipment for excavation and intervention, and Bespoke Engineering for custom solutions. The product portfolio centers on proprietary offerings including the Uni-FlowX Controlled Flow Excavation System for seabed preparation, SPHL (Self-Propelled Hyperbaric Lifeboats) in three capacity models with Uni-Guardian monitoring, and LARS (Launch and Recovery Systems). The company also distributes complementary third-party equipment including VALOR ROV systems, EdgeTech sonar systems, Sonardyne positioning systems, and provides hyperbaric rescue facilities, all supported by the acquired Subsea Innovation engineering capabilities.
