About us

Ocean Prime Systems is an Adelaide-based marine technology company founded by Hamid Pirooz, a Principal Mechanical Engineer with expertise in mechanical design, mechatronics, automation and marine systems. The company develops modular technologies for wave-energy and offshore applications, with the Triton wave-energy generator as its initial commercial focus.

At Ocean Prime Systems, we specialize in the design and production of advanced marine systems, including:

• Wave Energy Generators equipped with our patented Magnetic and Mechanical Variable Stiffness Actuator (M2VSA) — designed to capture and convert wave motion into clean, stable electrical energy.

• Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) — built for subsea inspection, maintenance, and exploration with precision control and high reliability.

• Underwater Excavator Robots — the world’s first patented digging robots capable of operating in complex underwater environments.

• Wave Gliders — autonomous surface vehicles powered by wave motion and solar energy, ideal for long-duration missions.

• Pipeline Inspection Smart PIGs — intelligent tools for internal pipeline analysis, designed to detect faults, measure conditions, and improve maintenance efficiency.

Since our first patent in 2011 for the underwater excavator ROV, we have continued to innovate at the intersection of mechanical design, marine robotics, and renewable energy. Our patented M2VSA technology forms the core of our wave energy systems, allowing them to adapt to changing ocean conditions while maximizing energy output with minimal mechanical loss.

Our work is driven by real-world challenges — from reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy to improving the safety and effectiveness of subsea infrastructure maintenance. We are committed to engineering excellence, environmental responsibility, and supporting industries that rely on high-performance marine technologies.

Based in Adelaide, Australia, Ocean Prime Systems brings together a multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers, control specialists, software developers, and field technicians. Together, we strive to deliver solutions that are robust, user-friendly, and future-ready — from prototype to full-scale deployment.

As we look ahead, our focus remains on expanding our impact through research, partnerships, and continuous product development — all while staying true to our core goal: engineering a smarter, more sustainable future for our oceans.
