About Us
Developing sustainable business practices while actively restoring the marine environment to its natural state.
Founded in 2014 as the first North American and European-based cable recovery company, Subsea Environmental Services has established itself as a global leader in the recovery and recycling of out-of-service submarine cables. With over a decade of operational excellence, we deliver sustainable solutions that bridge environmental responsibility with commercial viability.
Headquartered in New York City and the Netherlands, Subsea operates globally, and is supported by a fleet of specialized recovery vessels and a highly experienced team. To date, Subsea has successfully recovered over 50,000 km and recycled close to 100,000 metric tons of material from the ocean floor—equivalent to more than twice the circumference of the Earth and roughly the weight of 250 fully-loaded Boeing 747 airplanes! In doing so, we continue to set industry benchmarks for safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
At Subsea, our commitment to the circular economy drives every project we undertake. By reclaiming and recycling subsea cables, we close the lifecycle loop, reintegrating valuable resources back into the supply chain while minimizing environmental impact.
Our dedication to operational excellence is underscored by rigorous risk management protocols and adherence to internationally recognized standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for Quality and Environmental Management. Transparency, reliability, and responsibility are at the core of our operations, ensuring we consistently exceed stakeholder expectations.
Subsea Environmental Services—where innovation and sustainability meet to secure a better, more resource-efficient future.
Our Mission
At Subsea, we are dedicated to sustainably harnessing the untapped potential of out-of-service (OOS) cables and reintroducing the materials back into the global supply chain. Recycling these cables is both a viable and efficient means to source raw materials while simultaneously demonstrating marine environmental stewardship.
Our Executive Team
With over 100 years of collective experience in the marine industry, the Subsea team is able to leverage its knowledge and relationships in all areas of the business and operations. From our headquarters in New York City and through our global network of agents and partners, our team employs the combined expertise and knowledge base of the best people, processes, and practices.
