SoSub currently services the Australian market and supports international sales to Norway, Estonia and New Zealand. Expansion into additional global markets is underway, with Canada and Chile identified as key future growth regions.

The APAMA ROV Net Repair System was engineered for precise, in-situ underwater repair work. While its core purpose is aquaculture net maintenance, its capabilities extend to several other marine sectors where underwater integrity, safety, and environmental care are priorities.

We’re here for industries that need precision, reliability, and efficiency. Below is a practical breakdown of where APAMA directly excels, where it can be adapted, and where it offers value in specific scenarios.

Aquaculture

APAMA was designed specifically for the aquaculture sector, where net integrity, diver safety, and operational uptime are critical.
E
In-situ net repairs without lifting nets or deploying divers
E
Reduced downtime and lower environmental disturbance
E
Suitable for salmon, tuna, kingfish, and other finfish farming operations
E
Ideal for farms operating in exposed or high-energy marine environments
APAMA provides a reliable, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional net maintenance methods, making aquaculture its strongest and most immediate industry fit.

Renewable Marine Energy (Offshore Wind, Tidal, Wave)

Subsea infrastructure in renewable energy requires regular inspection and light maintenance.

APAMA can support: 

E
Visual inspections
E

Light structural repairs

E

Cable or netting integrity checks

This is particularly relevant for operators looking for safer, diver-free maintenance practices. 

Port, Harbour & Marine Infrastructure

Ports and harbours rely on underwater inspections and maintenance for structures such as piers, wharves, pilings, and coastal assets.

APAMA can assist with: 

E
Inspection of submerged infrastructure
E

Minor repairs and material integrity checks

E

Monitoring for wear and damage

While it cannot replace heavy equipment for dredging or piling, it is useful for precision tasks that improve operational safety and reduce manual intervention. 

Salvage, Underwater Recovery & Search Operations

Subsea infrastructure in renewable energy requires regular inspection and light maintenance.

APAMA can complement light recovery and search tasks by:

E
Inspecting submerged objects
E
Locating/discovering targets
E
Conducting minor attachment or repair work
However, full-scale salvage operations typically require specialized heavy-lift ROVs and recovery gear.

Offshore Oil & Gas / Subsea Energy Infrastructure

While not built for deep-water or heavy-duty oil and gas operations, APAMA can contribute to:

E
Routine shallow-to-mid-depth infrastructure inspections
E
Minor maintenance tasks
E
Environmental monitoring in sensitive sites
This positions APAMA as a supplementary tool rather than a primary work-class ROV for the sector.

Marine Conservation & Research

APAMA’s low-impact underwater operation makes it a useful tool for:

E
Maintaining research nets and enclosures
E
Inspecting underwater monitoring stations
E
Supporting conservation efforts with minimal disruption
