The project is being led by Newfoundland and Labrador marine imaging company PanGeo Subsea with a British Columbia-based partner, Cellula Robotics. PanGeo CEO Moya Cahill told CBC News that because of worldwide growth in the offshore wind sector her company has grown from 15 employees to 75 over the last two years. "What's driving our growth today is certainly offshore wind, but it can similarly be applied to the oil and gas sector as well as to marine construction," she said. OSC said the GeoScan Project will create highly skilled, full-time positions and placements at both PanGeo Subsea and Cellula through the development and implementation of the project.
