Protect maritime borders - above and below the surface

Blueye ROVs give border control agencies fast, reliable underwater visibility for vessel inspections, contraband detection, and port security. The lightweight, rapid-deployment design allows officers to launch within minutes, while advanced positioning tools, sonars and real-time streaming support accurate documentation and multi-agency coordination. The Blueye ROV reduces diver risk, performs effectively in challenging conditions, and is built to withstand demanding maritime operations — making it a trusted choice for border authorities.

Work smarter with underwater ROVs

Equipping the Norwegian Customs with Blueye mini-ROVs

The Norwegian Customs relies on Blueye Robotics ROV technology as a core tool in both targeted and random inspections of vessels entering Norwegian ports.

Blueye mini-ROVs enable efficient, high-quality visual inspections of ship hulls — especially on commercial vessels between 30 and 350 meters. By using Blueye ROVs, Norwegian Customs personnel can perform their own rapid underwater inspections, reducing reliance on external resources and significantly cutting both time and operational costs.
