5 years of OceanIQ
02 September 2025
Five years ago, in September 2020, we launched OceanIQ. We set out to transform how industries access and interpret subsea cable intelligence. The ever increasing use of the seabed, across multiple industries, meant that it had become essential for our customers to better understand the sea floor in order to plan for future infrastructure installations, but also to protect those already in existence.
It was a service we’d been providing to our internal customers via Global Marine for decades, but we wanted to be able to offer it to new customers, in new ways.
We’ve achieved that, and so much more! Over the last 5 years our team have:
- Developed our brand new Cable Fault Heat Map solution giving customers the ability to visualise historical cable faults and delivered our new Cable Fault Predication Reports allowing clients to better plan and prepare for their future cable systems
- Continued to build an unrivalled set of geographically accurate subsea cable data – over 3 million kilometres meticulously mapped for our customers worldwide to access and utilise in their planning
- Brought our market-leading expertise to multiple new offshore markets
- Received glowing feedback for their key roles in milestone projects globally – from route engineering for floating offshore technology and boulder clearance analysis for inter array cable routes to managing UXO risks in the world’s largest munitions dumping ground and delivering permit feasibility studies connecting Asia to Australia
- Completed Desktop studies from the stunning northerly isles of Scotland to the beautiful beaches of Hawaii
Our team’s knowledge and skills has grown alongside our expanding new customer base. And we continue to be extremely passionate about the services and solutions that we’re able to deliver to the market.
