White Paper: Maintaining the UK's Leading Position in Underwater Robotics and Autonomy 2026
The UK has a long-established position in underwater robotics, with technologies supporting operations across oil and gas, defence, offshore wind and other underwater sectors. As demand grows and the industry moves towards greater autonomy, there is a significant opportunity for the UK supply chain to build on its established expertise and capability.
Maintaining the UK’s leading position in Underwater Robotics and Autonomy explores the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and identifies where industry focus and collaboration are needed to keep the UK at the forefront.
Drawing on industry insight and the work of GUH’s Underwater Robotics and Autonomy Forum, the white paper sets out key areas for action including engagement with end users, regulation, testing, skills and training, cybersecurity, data and AI, and the roadmap for autonomy from inspection to intervention.

White Paper: Moorings and Anchors 2026
As floating offshore wind moves into deeper waters and larger-scale deployment, mooring and anchoring systems are emerging as a critical enabler of success. This white paper explores the challenges, opportunities and supply chain requirements associated with these complex systems, and sets out how the UK can build on decades of underwater engineering expertise to establish a global centre of excellence.
Drawing on industry insight and the work of GUH's Substructure Moorings and Anchoring Forum, the paper identifies priority areas for collaboration, innovation and standardisation across the full lifecycle of floating production assets.

White Paper: Subsea Cable Systems 2025
For the world to hit its 2050 net-zero ambitions and to ensure that all of the planned investment in offshore wind successfully comes on stream, improving the performance and reliability of subsea cable systems is critical.
This whitepaper produced by Global Underwater Hub outlines the challenges facing the offshore renewable energy sector and its supply chain, while also presenting solutions that can ensure energy supplies from offshore wind farms are uninterrupted.
With a world-leading installed base of offshore wind capacity and its extensive experience, the document outlines how the UK’s underwater supply chain can become – through first-mover advantage – a centre of excellence for subsea cable systems in floating offshore wind.
