Following the success of the first prototype, Reach Subsea confirmed the official delivery of its second unmanned surface vessel (USV), the Reach Remote 2. (USV), the Reach Remote 2. The 24-meter vessel has passed all phases of technical installation, field trials and documentary validation and is now ready for commercial operations.
Subsea technology powered by Reach Remote 2
Reach Remote 2 is a platform equipped with hull-mounted survey sensors and an industrial-class electric ROV. industrial class electric ROV. Its design allows it to perform complex tasks in subsea environments without the need for onboard crew. This autonomous approach significantly improves safety and efficiency, while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
The previous model, Reach Remote 1, proved its effectiveness in a pilot program conducted in early 2025. That experience validated the concept of operating unmanned vessels for inspection, maintenance and monitoring tasks in the offshore sector. inspection, maintenance and monitoring tasks in the offshore sector.. The incorporation of the second USV responds to the need to expand the operational availability of the fleet.
A model of sustainability applied to marine engineering
One of the central objectives of the Reach Remote program is to minimize the carbon footprint. With this type of vessel, the company estimates an emissions reduction of up to 90% compared to conventional manned vessels. This positions Reach Subsea as a benchmark in sustainable marine technology. sustainable marine technology.
We are pleased to welcome Reach Remote 2, as planned, and look forward to seeing it operating very soon.
Jostein Alendal, CEO of Reach Subsea, commented.
With the addition of this new unit, the Norwegian company strengthens its capacity to serve international projects in sectors such as energy, telecommunications and environmental monitoring. The Reach Remote 2 is ready to be integrated in field missions that demand high technical precision and an efficient logistical approach.
