The unique operating environment in Australasia, by virtue of its remote operations and ambient conditions, presents opportunities bespoke to the region. Australian operators, service companies and research institutions alike have developed specialised knowledge and skills making them subsea Inspection, Maintenance & Repair (IMR) industry leaders, particularly within the Asian sector. In order to leverage this a group of Australian companies, together with a number of research institutions, have decided to form an innovation cluster with an initial focus on subsea IMR. The organisation is known as Subsea Innovation Cluster Australia (SICA) and is operated and managed in Perth with strong support from Subsea Energy Australia (SEA).
