Nauticus Robotics has announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire subsea robotics expert SeaTrepid International.
The strategic acquisition, which is projected to be completed by May 2025, underscores Nauticus’ commitment to innovation and revenue growth in 2025. By integrating Nauticus’ AI-driven autonomy software ToolKIT into SeaTrepid’s existing ROV fleet, the combination will showcase strong advancements in power efficiency and operational performance.
The ability of ROVs and Aquanaut to communicate at depth unlocks new service opportunities which enable the two autonomous systems to collaborate in delivering cutting-edge underwater solutions.
Bob Christ, SeaTrepid’s previous CEO and now President of SeaTrepid Operations, said, “We look forward to combining with Nauticus to extend ROV capabilities and enhance execution on a global scale."
David Huber, current SVP of Ocean Minerals, commented, “SeaTrepid is a long-time reliable subsea services provider to the deepwater companies I have worked for over the past several decades. With the combination of Nauticus' autonomous cutting-edge controls technology coupled with SeaTrepid's deep knowledge of subsea services, I see this as a breakthrough development for the offshore sector."
