By entering into a partnership, SABCA and DEME plan to develop and deploy Unmanned Vehicles to perform surveillance and inspection works in the offshore industry.

SABCA is a tier 1 aerospace industry supplier and active in drone developments for industrial applications and DEME Offshore provides solutions and services for the offshore energy market. Complementing each other’s experience and know-how, both companies feel that these innovative, advanced technologies have a game-changing potential to increase health and safety of employees, lower the impact on the environment in the O&M phase of a project, and reduce the overall costs of these operations.

Moreover, in the future, it is expected that unmanned vehicles will continue to contribute significantly to lower the Levelised Cost of Energy.
