Cellula Robotics has been awarded a contract with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) through Fukada Salvage and Marine Co Ltd, for the design and delivery of a large diameter drilling upgrade to the Boring Machine System (based on Cellula’s CRD100 Seafloor Drill) delivered in 2016.  This project will enable a 200mm diameter bore hole to be drilled to at least 20 meters below mudline.

All equipment will be supplied in 2019 and integrated for a demonstration mission in February 2020.
