STR, a specialist in advanced marine sensor technology, has entered into an exclusive global technology and service partnership with SubC Imaging, a Canadian original equipment manufacturer known for its subsea cameras, digital video recorders, and data services.

The collaboration comes in response to rising demand across the offshore energy and marine sectors for high-quality optical solutions and real-time inspection data to monitor and maintain critical subsea infrastructure.
