Boxfish Research has signed a partnership reseller agreement with engineering consultants S2 Services for the distribution of Boxfish Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in the offshore energy, navy and defense industries in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
New Zealand company Boxfish Research designs and manufactures cutting-edge autonomous-capable robotic vehicles and ROVs. According to the company, its agile, lightweight, battery-operated ROVs deliver capabilities usually only seen in work-class vehicles.
Using a Boxfish ROV can allow organizations to reduce their carbon impact and complete work on time and with fewer costs than traditional operations using surface-powered ROVs. The ability to develop autonomous operations offers significant benefits to customers with larger offshore assets.
“We are pleased to partner with S2 Services to supply our innovative underwater vehicles to the Southeast Asian market,” said Craig Anderson, Co-founder, Boxfish Research. “S2 Services are experts in their field, and we see the great future of Boxfish technology in this partnership.”
Malaysian-owned S2 specializes in providing underwater engineering services, ROVs and subsea inspection systems within the region. The company’s experienced subsea inspection team are advanced ROV pilots with extensive offshore oil and gas industry expertise. Boxfish believes their hands-on experience using the Boxfish ROV in the field will be invaluable in delivering exceptional customer service to its clients.
“We are excited to be the first in the ASEAN region to own these Boxfish ROVs and in the limelight among the offshore operators to see the system’s capability to perform offshore,” said Azmeer Yusof, General Manager, S2 Services.
