We offer our underwater services nationally and internationally. Wherever your project is located, you can rely on our expertise and experience. We assist in projects involving water and wastewater, hydropower, water supply, ports and waterways, reservoirs and rivers, dredging and reclamation, subsea cables, as well as environmental assessments and regulatory plans. Our commitment is to deliver accurate data and customized solutions, regardless of complexity or scope. Let OceanFront be your trusted partner for underwater projects.

In addition to our versatile services, including underwater surveys and engineering services, we are also proud of our revolutionary approach to eco-friendly seabed cleanup through the concept of Natural Seabed. With the Natural Seabed concept, we work to restore the seabed to its natural state.

Choose OceanFront as your partner to lead sustainable maritime operations on, in, and under the water. We are ready to meet your specific needs and goals, and we look forward to delivering results that contribute to a sustainable future for our oceans and future generations.

Partners

During winter 2024 we were involved in an exciting project in collaboration with Oslo municipality. Our mission involves cleaning up litter on the seabed of Inner Oslo Fjord. Through thorough and targeted efforts, we are contributing to ensuring cleaner and healthier marine environments for both the local community and future generations. Our dedicated efforts are aimed at maintaining and preserving the natural ecosystem of the fjord while also contributing to creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly city.

“OceanFront has made an impressive effort during our cleanup campaign in the inner Oslofjord, where over 100,000 kilos of marine waste, including 1,001 car tires, were removed. Using their self-developed concept, Natural Seabed, they have effectively cleaned the seabed and contributed to protecting the fjord’s ecosystem. OceanFront’s technology and dedication have been crucial to the project’s success, in collaboration with Oslo Municipality, Oslo Port, and the Retailers’ Environment Fund. This project marks an important step toward a cleaner and more sustainable Oslofjord.”
– Håkon Vikøren, Responsible for plastics and marine litter, Agency for Urban Environment, Oslo Municipality

The Renere Havn Bergen project is conducted under the City’s Environmental Agency in Bergen Municipality, in collaboration with the Norwegian Environment Agency.

The primary objective is to prevent the dissemination of environmental toxins from a polluted seabed and restore a healthy marine ecosystem. All significant debris has been removed from the seabed to prevent potential pollution, as the entire seabed will be covered with clean sand to isolate existing pollutants effectively.

“The collaboration with OceanFront has been highly successful, marked by transparency and consistent communication throughout the project.”
– Elena Rusetskaya – Project Lead, Renere Havn Bergen

Additionally, OceanFront has developed a system for registering and logging debris, ensuring a comprehensive overview and knowledge repository upon the project’s completion.

As the environmental advisor for the client on the project “Renere havn Bergen”, COWI has overseen the debris removal in Store Lungegårdsvann where OceanFront is the executing contractor. Through the project, OceanFront has demonstrated that they have developed equipment and technology that effectively clears debris from the seabed. The equipment/technology is suitable for clearing both small objects and larger objects such as wrecks. OceanFront has shown a willingness to cooperate and flexibility in the project and is clearly focused on continuously improving their solutions.

OceanFront was hired to remove fenders (old truck tires) from Kristiansund’s inner harbor. This was a good opportunity to engage them to clean the seabed since their goal was to test their new technology.

During this successful pilot project, a significant number of fenders were retrieved from the seabed, where the majority of them will be reused.

This kind of clean-up operation must be repeated regularly, and OceanFront is ready to conduct another mission in the future. All aspects of planning, implementing, evaluating, and reporting went smoothly, as well as health and safety.

On behalf of the Norwegian Coastal Administration, OceanFront cleared abandoned aquaculture facilities in Western Norway in the autumn of 2021. We are happy with both the planning, implementation, and results of the assignment.

Handelens Miljøfond is pleased to support the vital work of developing methods for clearing the seabed of rubbish. We follow OceanFront closely in their work to develop dedicated systems for gentle cleaning of the seabed.

We at OKEA hire CAD and Control System engineers, and OceanFront was the only ones in the region that could deliver this specialist expertise. We are happy to have access to such resources in our offices in Kristiansund.

Nivero works with software development and modern technology. One of our projects deals with waste in Norwegian fjords and how to use technology to map and recognize different types of waste underwater. OceanFront has complementary expertise that will be of great help in our further work. We look forward to a good collaboration in the future!

Having OceanFront and their knowledge and experience as a part of NOSCA is very valuable. As we are always aiming to address marine pollution challenges holistically – detection, classification, clean-up and disposal/recycling – OceanFront contribute both through their eagerness to share and cooperate with others, and by broadening the cluster’s competence base”, says Eirik Langeland, Managing Director NOSCA Clean Ocean.

In 2021, Norsk Gjenvinning AS and OceanFront entered into a national collaboration on solutions for marine waste. We have since worked closely with projects where OceanFront offers its services to find the best environmental solutions for waste.
