Elsa Bhd has secured a contract to provide autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) subsea structure inspection services for a major exploration and production (E&P) company.
The agreement covers operations across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and other regions, marking a significant expansion for the Malaysian firm in the energy sector's digitalization efforts.
The deal highlights the increasing reliance on autonomous technology for subsea infrastructure maintenance and inspection.
