Core Guard and other Support Vessel Capabilities

Aegean Offshore provides professional Guard Vessel and Remote Monitoring solutions for the protection of subsea infrastructure and the safe execution of offshore operations across the Mediterranean.

Our vessels support cable-laying campaigns, subsea construction projects, survey activities,and long-term asset protection programs.

Backed by a Remote Operations Center (ROC),we ensure real-time situational awareness, incident prevention, and coordinated response—allowing our clients to maintain safe working environments and uninterrupted project workflows.

Asset Monitoring & Intruding Traffic Surveillance

Our guard vessels maintain continuous watch over subsea assets, work sites, and AIS traffic. Using radar, AIS, and visual lookout, we identify, track, and deter intruding vessels to maintain safe perimeters and prevent external interference.

Route Clearance & Navigational Assurance

Before critical marine operations (such as cable laying or subsea inspections), our vessels conduct pre-routesweeps(Grapnel Runs)to ensure the area is clear of fishing gear, debris, small craft, and any navigational hazards. This minimizes operational delays and improves planning efficiency

Patrol & Escort Operations

We provide escorting for project vessels, survey ships, and construction units during transit or operations in congested or high-risk areas. Patrol vessels enforce safety zones and ensure controlled vessel movement around the work site.

Sectors We Support

Our Guard Vessel and Remote Operations Center capabilities extend beyond Offshore Energy and apply to a wide range of specialized maritime sectors:

Seismic Research

Support for seismic spread protection, tail buoy monitoring, and exclusion zone enforcement.

Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveys

Protection of survey assets, coordination with other marine users, and continuous operational monitoring.

Environmental Monitoring Campaigns

Support for environmental surveys, wildlife monitoring, and marine conservation activities.

Fisheries Inspection & Regulatory Support

Assistance to regulatory bodies and clients in monitoring fishing activity and ensuring compliance with exclusion areas.
