About us

Decades of subsea engineering
Now put to work on freshwater

Our story

Flocean makes freshwater using the pressure of the deep sea. We were founded in 2024 on decades of subsea engineering, and we deliver the water as a service to coastal cities and industry. In summer 2026 we installed Flocean One, the world's first subsea desalination plant at industrial scale. It has sent freshwater ashore every day since, from 500 metres down off Mongstad, Norway.
