Subsea Power & Propulsion

Batteries, power management, electric motors, actuators, and thruster systems for subsea and marine applications — enabling longer missions and more reliable operations.

Overview

Built Around Your Application

As the offshore and subsea industry moves toward electrification and autonomous operations, reliable subsea power and propulsion systems have become mission-critical. Whether you're extending the endurance of an AUV, powering a resident ROV system, or driving thrusters on a work-class vehicle, the quality of your power and propulsion components determines operational success. C.A. Richards represents manufacturers at the forefront of subsea power technology — from intelligent battery systems to high-performance electric motors and thrusters.
