Ocean Infinity

Founded in 2017 by Oliver Plunkett and headquartered across Austin, Texas and Southampton, UK, Ocean Infinity is a marine-robotics company that collects ocean data and runs survey, inspection and salvage operations using autonomous and remotely-operated vehicles. Its centerpiece is the Armada fleet of low-emission robotic surface vessels, built out to fourteen ships across 78-metre and 86-metre classes and operated from onshore remote-control centres rather than with crews at sea. The company serves offshore-energy, subsea-infrastructure and telecommunications customers, and is known for high-profile deep-ocean search and salvage campaigns, including the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 — in June 2026 Malaysia extended Ocean Infinity's no-find-no-fee search agreement to June 30, 2027. Ocean Infinity is privately held; comprehensive funding figures are not publicly disclosed.
