site user(s):
PEBL CIC, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult
technology tested:
Subsea camera technology. One standard camera and one camera fitted with an integrated UV-C anti-fouling system.
sites used:
Carr Jetty
duration of deployment:
July 2026 – 6 weeks
test aims:
Monitor effectiveness of UV-C technology to stop biofouling on subsea equipment. Images captured after 14 and 44 days, allowed the team to compare how biofouling developed over time.
test outcome:
Test successfully measured the effectiveness of anti-fouling technology in a real-world environment, providing valuable insight into how these tools could support more efficient maintenance of offshore energy infrastructure in the future.
