Tor Østervold

ECOsubsea was established by the Norwegian brothers Tor M. Østervold and Klaus Østervold in 2008. Their vision was from the very beginning to address the problem of biofouling and to safely transform a pressing environmental problem into a business profit for shipowners and ports, by making shipping greener. Tor is a winner of the Orcelle Award.
With head-office based in Austevoll, they have been operating in the Port of Southampton since 2014, and in 2018 their international Centre of excellence was opened. For over a decade, they have fine-tuned their innovative and advanced technology for preventing the spread of invasive species, reduction of fuel consumption, and they have earned licenses for operating in ports with strong environmental benchmarks.
