Kraken's Robotics as a Service (RaaS) Contract with Royal Canadian Navy Deemed 'Success'

“By embracing the ISC TS program, the RCN is able to test and trial high-tech, advanced, state of the art equipment to determine its viability and future employability in various areas of warfare. Partnering with Kraken Robotics to utilize Robotics as a Service allowed the RCN’s Seabed Intervention Systems  department, as the end-users, to employ a superior SAS system on an already in-service UUV, the REMUS 100, to achieve a much higher definition resolution image. The trial and the partnership were very successful in integrating the SAS with the REMUS 100, and in demonstrating that increased

plays out as it assesses potential future opportunities to utilize Nauticus' technological offerings.“We are looking forward to seeing the results of the implementation of the Arm on an existing ROV platform,” said Arne Rettedal, Equinor’s leading advisor of Subsea Intervention Systems. “Equinor is focusing on technology that can contribute to reduced costs. The Olympic Arm from Nauticus and the RROV from IKM Subsea are both great examples for this. The combination of the two, and the things this might lead to in the future, are obviously exciting to be a part of.&rdquo

combined with R&D funding from Scottish Enterprise in 2017 provided us with the ideal opportunity to increase our capabilities in the deepwater intervention arena, building on our success to date.“We are seeing more adoption for the Flow Access Modules (FAM) production and the FIS intervention systems, from the smaller independent operators as well as the larger E&P firms. We have outlined some of these results to Mr. Wheelhouse, Scottish Enterprise and visiting delegates today.“The development has taken a lot of hard work and perseverance to deliver this level of success for

Caley Ocean Systems is a leading supplier of IWOCS deployment systems. The combination of UI umbilical and Caley IWOCS deployment allows for a fully integrated system that avoids the kinds of interface issues which can often arise.

New Umbilical Emergency Disconnection Tool

Cutting tool specialist Webtool has developed an emergency disconnection tool (EDT) for subsea intervention systems. The Webtool EDT enables rapid cutting of umbilical multiple fluid transfer jumpers, electrical lines and tension wire, in the event the DP surface vessel drifts off-station.   As an integral part of either a workover tool or dedicated emergency disconnect package, Webtool EDT guillotine cutter is a simpler and quicker emergency disconnection than more complex multi-line stabplate systems, its manufacturer said. It offers considerable weight savings compared with other emergency
