Krona Subsea is proud to introduce Maelstrom, its latest advancement in wireless subsea connection technology — developed under our innovative WiSub brand.
As the subsea sector faces increasing pressure to reduce downtime, improve system modularity, and overcome global supply chain delays, Maelstrom emerges as a powerful alternative to traditional pinned wet-mate connectors.
Unlike legacy pinned solutions — which are often constrained by long manufacturing lead times, wear-prone interfaces, and maintenance-heavy mating — Maelstrom delivers contactless data and power transfer, enabling infinite mating cycles and significantly reducing mechanical failure points.
The result is a robust, future-focused connector system capable of supporting a wide range of subsea operations.
✅ Key Benefits of Maelstrom
- Pinless, contactless interface — no mechanical degradation over time
- Up to 180W power transfer
- High-speed data communication
- Rugged, modular design for flexible integration
- Infinite mating cycles, enabling rapid redeployment
- Reduced downtime and faster mobilisation
- Ideal for BOP, tooling, sensors, and autonomous docking systems
Maelstrom has already been identified by clients and operators as a strategic solution to ongoing delays associated with pinned BOP connector systems, particularly in regions where traditional component supply has become a critical bottleneck.
🔧 Supporting Autonomous and Modular Subsea Operations
Maelstrom plays a critical role in enabling next-generation autonomous and modular systems, including:
- ROV and AUV payload docking
- Intervention skid technologies
- Smart sensor integration
- Pinless tooling interfaces
As subsea operations become more intelligent, flexible, and unmanned, Maelstrom offers the robust connection architecture needed to power this transition.
“It’s an exciting time at Krona. Our clients — and new prospects — are already recognising the advantages of Maelstrom as a technically superior and commercially viable alternative to traditional pinned connectors. It’s especially rewarding to see its impact in areas like BOP systems, where lead times and reliability are mission-critical. We’re just getting started — and very soon, we’ll be announcing the next major development in the WiSub range.”
– Rami Elmegirab, Sales Manager, Krona Subsea
🔜 What’s Next for WiSub?
