UHI Survey Service – Turn-Key Deep-Sea Hyperspectral Mapping

Charter our sister company, Busch Marine Inc.'s, flagship 120 ft MPV Christina Busch (or integrate on your preferred vessel) and let our team deliver a complete, non-invasive seafloor resource and environmental survey in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.

We deploy the Deep Ocean Surveyor tow sled plus additional UHI-equipped ROVs to map your license area or study area with real-time, AI-analysed hyperspectral data down to 6,000 m. One continuous survey pass produces:

• Geo-registered mineral abundance maps (polymetallic nodules, cobalt crusts, REEs, sulfides), pollutants, or submerged objects
• Material classification at >95 % verified accuracy
• Full 4K visual documentation and photogrammetry
• Minimal to no physical sampling or seabed disturbance — Only sample retrieval when requested

Typical campaigns:

• 1 week to 1 month: site size and deployment duration dependent on area, search parameters, depth, time of year
• Processed data cubes and draft reports delivered onboard before demobilisation
• Final GIS-ready deliverables within days of returning to port

Perfect for resource verification, environmental baseline studies, mine-site monitoring, or pre-feasibility work. Past clients include major mining companies and government agencies in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, U.S. EEZ, and international waters.
