ABOUT US
Since its creation, CERES has carried out numerous missions in a wide range of maritime and oceanographic fields. Some, through their technical demands, complexity or exceptional nature, have become emblematic of the company's history and expertise. They draw on complementary capabilities in hydrography, bathymetry, marine geophysics, UXO assessment, wreck search and location, expert assessments and subsea operations.
Today, CERES is particularly distinguished in several areas: hydrographic surveys and investigations;
salvage and subsea operations;
and maritime and subsea expert assessments.

OUR MISSIONS
CERES carries out numerous missions in the maritime and oceanographic fields. Some, due to their technical demands, complexity or exceptional nature, particularly demonstrate the company's experience and expertise.
These missions draw on complementary capabilities in hydrography, bathymetry, geophysics, UXO, wrecks, expert assessments and subsea operations. Today, CERES is particularly distinguished in three main areas: Hydrographic and geophysical investigations.
CERES conducts hydrographic, bathymetric and geophysical surveys to map and characterise the seabed, detect anomalies and support maritime projects. These missions may include side-scan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, magnetometry, sub-bottom profiling and UXO assessment. Salvage and subsea operations.
CERES searches for, locates, identifies, inspects and salvages wrecks using innovative lifting systems, ROVs, commercial divers and suitable equipment. Maritime and subsea expert assessments.
CERES carries out independent technical expert assessments relating to wrecks, marine casualties and salvage operations. They are based on field observations, acquired data and the company's experts' operational and legal experience.
