Seavid-link is a managed connectivity concept for vessel-to-shore operations — built around the kind of reliable, observable network you need when ROV work has to be supported, monitored, or partly run from an onshore office.

A concept we are shaping with our customers
Seavid-link is an active concept — not a finished, off-the-shelf packaged product. Scope, service levels and pricing are being defined together with the operators we work with. The page below describes how we currently think about it. If your remote ROV setup needs something specific, let's talk and shape it together.

Seavid-link is the connectivity layer behind remote ROV operations

A managed network setup — not an unmanaged internet connection — that links the vessel and the shore in a way that's reliable enough to actually work with, day after day.

🛰️

Vessel-to-shore link

A managed network path between vessel systems and an onshore location, built to support live operational use — not just file transfer.

🎮

Remote ROV support

Designed for setups where ROV operation, monitoring or specialist support happens from an office rather than the deck.

🛠️

Managed, not improvised

Configured connectivity equipment, defined responsibility, and a partner who actually owns the link end-to-end — not a stack of devices someone hopes will keep working.

Concept

Vessel · Hub · Shore

A managed path between vessel-side equipment and a shore-side office, with a connectivity hub that ties the two ends together.

What is included

A connectivity layer for real maritime work

Concrete elements we use today to build vessel-to-shore links — combined and tailored to fit the operator's actual setup.

🛰️
Vessel-to-shore connectivity
A managed network path that supports live communication between the vessel and an onshore office.
🎮
Remote ROV operation support
Designed for scenarios where ROV operation or monitoring happens from shore — the link is built to carry that.
⚙️
Managed network setup
Configured connectivity equipment with clear responsibility — not an unmanaged consumer connection.
🌐
Observable, end-to-end
The link between vessel and shore is one managed environment — visible, monitored and actually owned by us, not a stack of devices someone hopes will keep working.
📡
Router-based vessel side
Vessel-side connectivity is built around maritime routers chosen and configured for the operational profile.
🎬
Companion to Seavid
Built to support the broader Seavid concept of remote ROV video and operational context.
🤝
Service-level packaging
Different levels of support are part of the picture — from business-hours response to extended or 24/7 cover, scoped to what the operation actually needs.
🚢
Per-vessel scaling
Operations grow vessel by vessel — the connectivity setup is built to scale that way, with a base footprint and per-vessel additions.
Workflows

How the link gets used in practice

A managed vessel-to-shore link doesn't deliver value on its own — it does once it's actually carrying ROV work, support sessions, and operational data between the two sides.

01
Vessel → Office
ROV work, observable from shore
The vessel performs ROV work. The managed link makes the operation observable from shore, so monitoring or remote support is possible without being on board.
02
Onshore
Operating from an onshore office
An operator works from an office and connects to the vessel-side ROV setup over the managed link — so the work can be run or assisted without putting another person on the vessel.
03
On vessel
Vessel-side equipment, ready
The crew prepares the vessel side of the setup. The managed connectivity layer makes that part of a defined remote-operation workflow rather than something improvised per trip.
04
Office
Remote technical support
Technical support reaches the vessel through the managed path — diagnosing, configuring or fixing things without waiting for the next port call.
Service levels

Support that fits the operation

Different levels of cover have been discussed with operators. The exact wording, response times and pricing are being shaped together with our customers — these tiers describe the direction.

Tier 1
Business hours support
Coverage during normal Norwegian business hours — fits operations that run primarily during the day and on weekdays.
Tier 2
Extended hours
Wider coverage that follows operational tempo more closely — for setups where the link has to be available beyond a 9-to-5 window.
Tier 3
24/7 cover
Round-the-clock support for operations where the link is part of how work is actually run, around the clock and across the year.
Pricing is still being defined. The current direction is a base fee plus per-vessel scaling, combined with one of the service levels above. Final scope and price are agreed per customer.
FAQ

Straight answers about the concept

What is Seavid-link?

A managed vessel-to-shore connectivity concept from Bluesystems — aimed at reliable, observable networks for remote ROV support and shore-based operations.

Is it shipping today?

No. Seavid-link is a concept in development. We say that explicitly so expectations stay honest while scope is shaped with operators.

How does it relate to Seavid?

Seavid is the live ROV video / overlay product. Seavid-link is about the managed connectivity path that can carry that kind of work between vessel and shore.

Where are short product facts?
