The LARS systems acquired will play a crucial role in Omega Subsea’s ROV service projects and will be installed onboard an existing offshore vessel.

Ulmatec Handling Solutions announced an agreement with Omega Subsea, a leading ROV service provider, for the delivery of Ulmatec E-LARS (Active Heave Compensated Launch and Recovery Systems). The systems will be integrated into an existing offshore vessel to support Omega Subsea’s subsea operations globally, reinforcing Ulmatec’s position as a trusted provider of mission-critical marine handling equipment.

The E-LARS units will enhance Omega Subsea’s operational capabilities by delivering innovative, reliable, and high-performance solutions.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
