How it started

ECOsubsea was established by the Norwegian brothers Tor M. Østervold and Klaus Østervold in 2008.


“ Our vision was from the very beginning to address the problem of biofouling and to safely transform a pressing environmental problem into a business profit for shipowners and ports, by making shipping greener. ”

With the head office based in Austevoll, Norway, and a branch office in Oslo, the first pilot station was tested and approved in 2012. From 2014, we were operating in the Port of Southampton, and in 2018, our international Centre of Excellence was opened. For over a decade, we have fine-tuned our innovative and advanced technology and earned licenses for operating in ports with strong environmental benchmarks. We combine domain expertise with unique technology to provide a solution fully compliant with the strictest environmental regulations, and with our services, set a new standard for cleaning operations and biofouling management in the global maritime industry.

ECOsubsea is the go-to enabler of sustainable marine activities that creates solutions for the growing ESG market of biofouling. Efficient cleaning of ship hulls is better for the water quality in the port and reduces CO2 emissions and fuel costs.
