Targeted Search & Recovery — Rotterdam

Most lost-item searches are solvable with the right search pattern and the right tool, not a diver sweeping blind. We run a subsea metal detector and 4K camera survey over the likely drop zone, then recover the item directly with a robotic arm fitted with magnets or hooks as the object requires — an anchor, an outboard, or something as small as a dropped tool or piece of jewelry.

Why it matters in Rotterdam

Europe's largest port by cargo volume, with an extensive network of quay walls, sheet-pile berths, bridges, and subsea pipelines built up over more than a century of expansion.

The sheer scale and age of Rotterdam's submerged infrastructure — quay walls, bridge substructures, pipeline routes — makes ongoing 3D condition survey a genuine, standing requirement rather than a novelty.

Deliverable

The recovered item, or a documented search record if the object isn't located within the agreed search scope.
