Film-Ocean, a global subsea services company and part of the Stapem Group, will showcase its newest Work Class ROV (WROV) and highlight its state-of-the-art Remote Operations Centre (ROC) at Subsea Expo 2026, taking place on 4 – 5 February.

The Quantum, manufactured by SMD and newly added to Film-Ocean’s owned and operated fleet, has a depth rating of 3,000 metres and supports demanding deepwater operations, including subsea construction. It is one of three WROVs the company added to its fleet recently to meet growing demand from energy sector clients, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation and capability growth.

Film-Ocean will also brief clients on its recently completed Remote Operations Centre (ROC) at its Ellon facility. The centre has been fitted out with high-tech equipment to enable seamless remote operations, allowing onshore and offshore teams to collaborate more effectively, enhance safety, and reduce the environmental impact of offshore operations.

Alongside technology investment, Film-Ocean continues to invest in its people. The company has recently appointed five new team members and has ambitions to add a further 12 roles in 2026.

“Subsea Expo provides a valuable opportunity to engage with clients and industry peers while showcasing how Film-Ocean continues to develop its capability,” said Merv New, CEO of Film-Ocean. “Our focus is on delivering reliable performance, supporting our people, and investing in the technology and ways of working required as the subsea sector continues to evolve.”

Film-Ocean’s presence at Subsea Expo 2026 underlines its ongoing investment in new technologies, its commitment to workforce development, and its dedication to enabling client success.

Visitors are invited to meet the Film-Ocean team at Stand 120 to discuss current projects, fleet capability, and future developments.
