Accurate Data and Modelling
Franmarine delivers precise spatial data capture using advanced technologies including GPS and USBL enabled multi-beam and single-beam sonar, subsea laser scanning, and 3D photogrammetry. Integrated with our ROV platforms, these tools enable detailed underwater surveys and structural assessments, ideal for supporting maintenance programs, biosecurity compliance, and the creation of digital asset models in remote or high-risk environments.
Marine Pest and Environmental Monitoring
Franmarine delivers specialised environmental monitoring and sampling services, conducted by qualified marine scientists with extensive experience in Invasive Marine Species (IMS) assessment. Our team uses ROV-mounted sensors and custom tooling to collect water, sediment, and biological samples from remote or high-risk environments. All data is captured and managed through MarineStream™, enabling transparent reporting and full traceability to support regulatory compliance, biosecurity planning, and long-term environmental monitoring.
Salvage and Emergency Response
We support salvage and emergency response operations with rapidly deployable ROV systems and experienced marine personnel. Our remotely operated vehicles provide real-time visuals, sonar imaging, and intervention tooling to assist in locating and recovering submerged assets in ports, offshore, or hazardous environments. Services range from lost equipment retrieval to structural assessments following marine incidents. Franmarine has experience working closely with enforcement and recovery services, supporting sensitive operations globally.
Underwater Asset Inspection
Franmarine’s remotely operated vehicles deliver precise underwater asset inspections across hulls, tanks, and critical infrastructure around inshore and offshore settings, globally. Capturing live streamable UHD video, still imagery and condition data for informed maintenance, compliance, and digital reporting via MarineStream™.
Hull and Tank Cleaning Technology
We deploy durable, magnetically adhered hull cleaning technology designed to effectively remove biofouling from flat and curved surfaces. Both in-port and offshore. These systems operate with or without Australian approved integrated capture, supporting compliance in regulated waters while delivering significant fuel and emissions savings. Ideal for routine maintenance or targeted cleaning campaigns, our technology enhances vessel efficiency, reduces dry-docking frequency, and supports sustainable operations across defence, commercial and off-shore sectors.
Tank Cleaning and Potable Water Inspection
Specialised remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and Crawler services for potable water tank cleaning and internal asset inspection, eliminating the need for diver entry and minimising service disruption. Our compact, submersible systems are designed for confined environments, capturing high-resolution video and structural condition data while maintaining water quality standards. Ideal for reservoirs, tanks, and other critical infrastructure, all findings are recorded and delivered via MarineStream for digital reporting, asset management, and compliance tracking.
Deep Trekker ROV Sales
Franmarine is an authorised reseller for Deep Trekker remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and underwater robotics. We offer sales across Australia, providing tailored solutions for inspections, cleaning, and environmental monitoring. These units can be intergrated with our MarineStream™ reporting software enabling transparency and traceability of work undertaken. We provide operational training, spare parts, and upgrade support to maximise reliability and performance in marine, industrial, and offshore environments.
