Unique Group, a global provider of subsea technologies and integrated engineering solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with RenOcean, a Norway based specialist in advanced subsea cutting, dredging and seabed-intervention systems. The collaboration combines RenOcean’s proven portfolio of precision subsea tools with Unique Group’s global presence and engineering depth, enhancing the ability to support operators across the entire asset lifecycle, including the rapidly expanding decommissioning sector.

Advanced Subsea Cutting and Intervention Capabilities

RenOcean is widely recognised for its robust and reliable subsea cutting technologies, including diamond wire saws, subsea hydraulic shears, abrasive cutting systems, dredging and trenching solutions, complimented with a range of purpose-built recovery and intervention tools. These systems are engineered for accuracy and stability in demanding offshore environments, making them particularly valuable for structural removal, pipeline and conductor cutting, mattress recovery, boulder clearance and removal of redundant subsea assets. With offshore regions entering late-life phases, the need for efficient and environmentally responsible decommissioning solutions continues to grow, and this partnership positions both companies to play a stronger role in meeting that demand.

Global Distribution and Through-Life Support

Through the agreement, Unique Group will provide distribution, mobilisation and through-life support for RenOcean equipment across its global network. This ensures operators have rapid access to field-proven tools supported by local engineering teams and regional mobilisation hubs. The combined strengths of both organisations create a more seamless, reliable and time-efficient approach to subsea removal and seabed intervention campaigns.

Comment from Unique Group

Ross Anderson, Regional Manager – Decommissioning at Unique Group, commented:
“We are delighted to formalize our partnership with RenOcean. Their cutting and seabed-intervention systems are widely respected throughout the industry for their performance, durability and precision. This collaboration aligns seamlessly with the evolving needs of our customers, who are increasingly prioritising safe, efficient and environmentally conscious decommissioning technologies, whilst requiring a partner that can deliver a complete decommissioning toolbox for their project campaigns.

By combining RenOcean’s engineering excellence with Unique Group’s regional capability and proven project delivery capability, we are able to offer operators a more robust and integrated solution for their subsea removal and remediation requirements. We are looking forward to bringing these technologies to a wider global audience, with a particular focus on the Middle East and APAC regions.”

Comment from RenOcean

Speaking on behalf of RenOcean, Jan Erik Larsen – CTO, added:
“Partnering with Unique Group enables us to extend our reach into key global markets through a company that shares our commitment to reliability, innovation and operational excellence. Unique Group’s in-house capabilities and international footprint make them an ideal partner for delivering our subsea cutting and intervention systems to customers who require both performance and trusted project support. We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration will create and the value it can bring to offshore operators navigating complex decommissioning challenges.”

Strengthening Offshore Decommissioning Solutions

RenOcean continues to build on its strong tradition of Norwegian subsea innovation, supporting projects across energy, offshore wind, marine infrastructure and restoration. Together, Unique Group and RenOcean aim to set a new benchmark for precision, operational efficiency and service reliability in offshore decommissioning and intervention operations.
