～around Q4 2020, Q1 2021

To improve and certificate our SPICE as an effective inspection method for subsea pipeline

Demonstration for potentialcustomers

We Kawasaki are happy to announce these at a future conference.

Faster (over 2kt)

More accurate, More effective


Conclusion

17

Introduced Kawasaki latest AUV SPICE Explained the verification test carried out in June Shared potential capabilities using SPICE Shared our rough schedule in the future

We Kawasaki hope to contribute to all subsea industries using our developed technologies in the future.
