Rostock, Germany – June 16, 2025 — Subsea Europe Services, together with its defence division, FLANQ, has been appointed as a mainland Europe distributor for the Voxometer® multi-aspect survey system developed by Malta-based R3Vox. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in Subsea Europe Services’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge hydrographic survey and underwater inspection technologies to commercial, academic and, through FLANQ, defence customers in the European market.

Subsea Europe Services is preparing to take delivery of the most advanced Voxometer-XL system soon, with availability in the company’s rental pool anticipated by the end of summer 2025. Its introduction to the European market is expected to revolutionise hydrographic surveying by reducing operational complexities and delivering superior data quality.

The Voxometer is a unique marine survey system that introduces a new standard for speed, simplicity, and precision in seafloor mapping and data acquisition. As the first smart, agile, and fully automated MA3® Multi Aspect Survey System, it enables faster hydrographic surveys with significantly reduced operational complexity and cost.

Designed for ease of use, even by operators with limited experience, the Voxometer delivers near-end quality data directly from the vessel – either crewed or uncrewed. Its ability to capture multiple data types in a single pass, combined with minimal setup and streamlined processing, shortens project timelines and accelerates return on investment. In an industry facing a widening skills gap, the Voxometer represents a bold, practical shift toward more efficient and accessible seabed mapping.

Under the Voxometer distributor agreement, Subsea Europe Services will promote and represent the system for sales and rental across mainland Europe, focusing on customers in academic research, offshore survey, and geophysical industries. FLANQ will lead engagement with clients in defence, maritime security, and government sectors, ensuring the Voxometer’s capabilities are accessible across both civil and strategic applications.

Subsea Europe Services’ appointment as a distributor for the Voxometer in mainland Europe builds upon a longstanding relationship with R3Vox’s sister company, R2Sonic. Over the past five years, Subsea Europe Services has successfully facilitated the sales and rental of R2Sonic’s Sonic multibeam echosounders, establishing a strong foundation of trust and collaboration for the launch of a radical new subsea technology.

“Our partnership with Subsea Europe Services is a strategic step in expanding the reach of the Voxometer system within Europe. Their technology expertise and commitment to customer success make them an ideal partner to introduce our next-generation survey technology,” said Cris Sabo, VP Sales for R3Vox and R2Sonic.

“Being selected as a mainland Europe distributor for the Voxometer is a testament to our dedication to providing clients with the most advanced and efficient survey solutions available,” said Sören Themann, CEO and Co-founder of Subsea Europe Services and FLANQ. “After seeing the Voxometer in action, I’m confident that it aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify marine data acquisition and analysis for professionals in both the commercial and defence sectors.”
