Protect maritime borders - above and below the surface

Blueye ROVs give border control teams quick and reliable visibility below the surface for vessel inspections, contraband searches, and port security. The lightweight design makes the ROV easy to deploy, allowing officers to be in the water within minutes. Built-in positioning tools, sonar, and live video streaming help teams find, document, and share information in real time, even when visibility is poor. By reducing the need for divers, Blueye ROVs improve safety while still performing well in tough maritime conditions. Durable and easy to use, they are a practical and trusted tool 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.

How Blueye develops ROV technology – the hardware, the software, and the core values of user friendliness

In the past, we relied on partner agencies for diving services during these types of inspections. With our own ROV system, we can now perform inspections much more frequently, with the same high quality, but in a far more efficient way.
