Neptune has a proven track record of successfully detecting, identifying and eliminating the potentially hazardous remnants of maritime conflicts including the detection and removal of:
- Sea bed mines
- Anti-submarine mines
- Air dropped mines
- Ground mines
- Anchor mines, including magnetic mines, contact mines and influence mines
- Mine defenders
- Depth charges
- Torpedoes
- Explosive shells

Offshore unexploded ordnance surveys may be conducted in a number of ways depending on the individual site circumstances. A typical approach to detect submerged munitions, either on the seabed or beneath the sediments, commences with passive remote sensing of the magnetic anomalies caused by the metallic components of the munitions, followed by a visual inspection by ROV.
The objective of the visual inspections is to confirm, identify and assess munitions and anthropogenic objects that potentially constitute a risk to pipelines, seabed infrastructure and the environment during installation works and throughout the operational life of the systems
