Our journey towards net-zero survey data is inseparable from the broader climate transition. Clean data stands at the intersection of technology and sustainability. We select operations and projects with consideration, seeking impactful partnerships. We are fully aware that operating completely net-zero is a significant challenge. We do not pretend to have all the answers and technical solutions yet, but we are progressing towards our goals by working on emission-free projects in inland areas, waste reduction, achieving a net-zero office, and the transitioning to sustainable energy sources.

Our mission
At Deep we believe that every company, regardless of its industry, has the responsibility to protect, restore and promote sustainability of our land, coasts and oceans. Therefore, we are dedicated to fostering a blue economy and marine climate adaptation. It is our mission to contribute to deliver the cleanest data within our field: high quality and net-zero data for future-proof projects that minimize our impact on the environment.
What is clean data?
1. High Quality data
Complete, accurate and profound data conversed into accessible deliverables, creating optimal solutions to our client's inquiries.
2. Net-zero data
Measured per GB or project basis, our deliverables have (net) no emissions, as we actively diminish carbon footprints per GB and counterbalance emissions released by removing them from the atmosphere.
3. Result of future-proof projects
Data delivered for projects that align with our SDG framework and is future-proof.

Climate transition
As a forward-thinking initiative, we are committed to driving a climate transition through an inclusive approach that not only addresses the challenges of today but also ensures a sustainable and resilient future for all. We focus on transforming our fleet and operating sustainably. For our fleet it means we include sustainability criteria and set-up a fleet development plan to increase energy-efficient surveying, reduce emissions and increase circularity of vessels and equipment. For our operations it means reducing emissions and sustainable (waste) water and chemical management.
Lightly Crewed Vessels
Instead of using fully crewed vessels, we are transforming some of our vessels to lightly crewed vessels. These vessels head to sea with only the nautical crew onboard, while all survey equipment is operated remotely from our control room in Amsterdam or has been fully automized and robotized..
Uncrewed vessels
Deep is striving for a sustainable fleet. Our Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV’s) are very suitable for remote operations. For instance the Deep Lorean USV, designed for accurate multibeam and sub-bottom data acquisition is controllable from the shore or our Deep Office. This unmanned survey vessel is highly suitable for conducting comprehensive survey work in the offshore or nearshore areas, or work alongside dredging or installation vessels. Whereas the Deep Lotus USV is ideal for shallow and hard-to-access areas due to its compact dimensions. Furthermore, because the Deep Lotus is electrically powered, this USV can navigate in areas where emission free propulsion is a hard requirement.
Deep Green
Deep is a pioneer in net-zero solutions with the Deep Green initiative. Reducing emissions in the maritime sector is challenging. However, our Deep Green fleet of electric vehicles and vessels enables us to conduct emission-free survey work.
Climate transition
To contribute to and accelerate the sustainability of our planet, we leverage our knowledge and expertise in impactful partnerships to invest in a better future. Our future-proof projects encompass:
Renewables
Deep works for several renewable energy operators, hereby contributing to increasing the availability of clean energy. Our services include hydrography, geophysical and UXO surveys as well as cable and pipeline pre- and post installation surveys and geophysical data processing. Over the last decade Deep has been involved in many cable route & interconnector geopphysical and UXO surveys from France all along the coast, via the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark into the Baltic region as well as the UK. Also on a regular interval Deep supports Renewable Energy companies with site surveys and asset integrity & maintenance support for their offshore wind turbines.
Salvage Operations
Deep has participated in salvage and emergency response operations globally. During the MSC ZOE recovery operation, we executed a comprehensive survey and provided essential salvage support. Our salvage efforts protect vulnerable areas and structures, facilitate safe navigation for vessels, and recover valuable resources, all while minimizing environmental impact. Salvage operations can be from finding a lost anchor, to support on finding missing containers in Sri-Lanka on a burnt out vessel.
Coastal resilience and hydrographic charts
Mapping the seabed for community benefit. Working alongside Rijkswaterstaat, we contribute over the last 15 years to the monitoring of the Waddensea and Northsea, reinforcing our commitment to a safer Netherlands. In addition to our monitoring work, our quay wall inspections assess the resilience of quay walls to the impacts of deferred maintenance, shipping traffic, climate change, such as rising sea levels and increased storm intensity. Strengthening quay walls in cities and along the coast to withstand these changes helps protect ports, cities and coastal infrastructure, and makes quay walls more sustainable and future-proof.
Initiatives in these fields enable us to achieve our goals of promoting renewable energy and ensuring sustainable, safe cities, coastlines, and waters. Through our impact-driven business approach, we extend our expertise and resources beyond our own projects, fostering a broader positive impact on the environment and society.
Climate transition
Our team of Deepers is essential in our mission to a sustainable future. They are our most valuable assets, contributing to a blue economy and safeguarding our mission. We prioritize both their wellbeing and satisfaction to foster an optimal work environment, alongside investing in leadership and development to maximize their potential. This approach not only attracts but also retains the best Deepers. Embracing diversity and inclusivity at Deep cultivates an environment where exceptional teams thrive and flourish. Together we combat climate change and minimize impact on our world.
Deep University
We're thrilled to welcome new Deepers on board who will commence their journey with us through the Deep University, our internal learning platform. In 2023, Deep University was established to enhance knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within our organisation. This internal training platform is designed for all employees, offering a wide range of training sessions, workshops, and knowledge-sharing events. Our content covers a variety of topics, from technical skills and specialized knowledge to soft skills, leadership development, and safety protocols, all tailored to meet the unique needs and learning goals of our staff.
