GROTON, Conn., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Groton-based ThayerMahan, Inc., a world leader in autonomous maritime security solutions, announced today that it has executed a cooperative partnering agreement Geo SubSea, LLC, a market leader in marine geophysical surveying, data analysis and reporting. Partnering with Geo SubSea represents an important addition to ThayerMahan's expanding portfolio of seabed surveying capabilities and services which will be provided to the Offshore Wind Industry, the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry, and US Government customers.

ThayerMahan CEO Mike Connor stated, "ThayerMahan is bringing best-in-class seabed imaging technology to customers in government, industry, and academia that provides a very efficient way to image and map the ocean floor and undersea infrastructure. We are proud to be partnering with Geo SubSea because they are experts in turning seabed monitoring technology into the products needed to ensure safe and efficient seabed development. Together, we will provide the next generation in maritime geophysics and ocean engineering support."

Geo SubSea has extensive offshore surveying experience covering multiple marine survey and marine science fields. The Geo SubSea team has subject matter experts in marine geology, geophysics, oceanography, environmental sampling, benthic and fisheries biology. Additionally, Geo SubSea has offshore wind experience from the inception of the US Offshore Wind industry in early 2000's and significant experience with high resolution surficial and subsurface sonar data manipulation, interpretation and reporting.                                  

Geo SubSea President, Jeff Gardner stated, "We are very excited about this collaboration as we have been promoting the use of advanced surface and undersea technology for years in the offshore wind industry, and it is now coming of age as a force multiplier in a number of maritime sectors as well as becoming more cost-effective. This technology combined with Geo SubSea's extensive offshore survey experience in marine geophysics, geotechnical, and environmental disciplines, as well as our post-survey technical capabilities that support all aspects of data analysis and product development, are a perfect complement to the ThayerMahan team.
