Who and where we are

Aalea is an independent and dynamic survey and remote subsea services provider; was established in February 2011 and is based in Fiumicino, Rome, Italy.

Aalea is fully owned and managed by a group of experienced, qualified, and highly motivated partners and managers with solid know-how based on 20+ years offshore experience.

Partners and management are since the very beginning highly focused on HSEQ principles and the development of the proprietary management system named AIMS reflects this commitment. By means of our AIMS we can guarantee measurable and consistent performance to our clients and support any need for survey and general remote subsea services with reliable and cost-effective solutions.

On the basis of the experience and significant track record achieved, in 2019 was launched the AALEA 2.0 PROJECT, that led very quickly to new partnerships, strengthening of survey services capability, widening of company purpose including sustainability and green offshore projects, revamping of research and development activity.

Discover Aalea Manifesto point by point.

#The sea is a school of life and of work. You don't tame it once and for all, there’s no hiding in the open sea.
Everyone must carry out their task in order to reach a common haven.
#Aalea is marine robotics: advanced vehicles and crew. We know the routes, we design the systems and we make the tools to deliver our clients to their destinations.

#Our name contains a suggestion of chance and uncertainty, but we are determined to overturn this concept so as to bring order to unfolding events with quick responses, transforming changing market conditions into opportunities.

#Our goal is the success of the project, finding solutions that are sustainable for the environment, people and business.
#Any economic advantage is a natural consequence of the value created by high-profile projects.

#Aalea’s management team is the top level of command. No higher structure, no conflict of interest.

#We were shaped in the open sea and there is where we like to sail. The challenge we are most passionate about is responding to customer requirements.
#Every unknown offers the opportunity for a solution. We are open even to unexpected requests, flexibly finding practical, non-trivial and profitable solutions.

#Every project, product and service must be conceived, created and implemented with the least possible impact on the marine ecosystem and the environment in general.
#From the most standardised to the most innovative of demands, the objective must be achieved in a manner that is essentially sustainable from an economic, social and above all environmental point of view.

#A small size and lean structure make Aalea more flexible and competitive. Faster decision-making and organisational processes lead to faster and more efficient responses throughout the life of a project, from the proposal to the resolution of problems in the field.

#We are experienced professionals in maritime economics. Our tailor-made solutions combine creativity, ingenuity and inventiveness made in Italy with the application of rigorous procedures to guarantee the application of the highest international standards

#The driving force behind our planning skills is the desire to find the best solution. We adapt our video-camera-equipped ROV supply standards, to the needs of the customer who receives high level output.
#The preferred solution is the one that is actually feasible. And it must be implemented with what can be made available in a way that is practical, timely and cost effective for the specific operation.
#Aalea is making possible what does not yet exist. By adding unique consultancy, designs, products and mechanical structures, handcrafted in our workshops, we turn every basic service into a tailored solution.

#We love open horizons, even when navigating by sight. We are focused on the market of today and tomorrow with the goal of achieving symbiosis between human and artificial intelligence in technologies applied to the maritime economy
