Beam Deploys World’s First AI-Driven Underwater Inspection Vehicle

Beam deploys the world’s first AI-driven autonomous underwater vehicle for offshore wind services.

The AI-powered vehicle conducted inspections at Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, Scotland—the deepest fixed-bottom offshore wind farm.

The AI vehicle gathers more precise data, enabling detailed 3D reconstruction of structures and visual assessments.

Seagreen has been operating since October 2023. Beam’s AI tech is offering critical insights into marine growth and erosion on the structures.

Autonomous inspections decrease the workforce needed and are less time-consuming—delivering low-risk, high-precision data.

Beam plans to deploy this AI technology across its fleet of DP2 ships and underwater vehicles throughout 2025 and 2026.

With improved inspection data and operational reliability, this technology sets a new benchmark for offshore wind maintenance.

Beam’s AI-driven autonomous vehicle is leading the future of underwater inspections—ensuring efficient, precise, and safe offshore wind operations.
