Our goal is to build off Innovasea's strong history of innovation and relationship building to deliver next-level equipment, technology, and service."

Finally, Naustdal indicated: "By redefining existing roles and creating new ones, we will be able to leverage the skills of our team to better meet the needs of our customers."
