SeaBot Maritime, GRi Simulations, Frontier Robotics Deliver Human-AI Autonomous Training Platform
resilience.At the core of the platform is GRi Simulation’s VROV (Virtual Remotely Operated Vehicle) system, a real-time marine operations simulator used globally for subsea training. For the project, GRi configured VROV to create a digital twin of an offshore wind farm inspection using a Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV. Monopile structures were populated with randomized inspection faults including corrosion, marine growth, anode damage and subsea cable defects, ensuring no two simulated missions are identical. Environmental variables such as sea state, current, turbidity and sonar noise can be adjusted
Saab’s Seaeye Lynx Surveya San José Shipwreck
Saab UK’s Seaeye Lynx subsea vehicle played a critical role in the survey and documentation of the 18th-century galleon San José, a Colombian cultural heritage asset.Often referred to as the “Holy Grail of shipwrecks,” San José sank in 1708 off the coast of Colombia during the War of the Spanish Succession, taking with it a substantial part of the maritime, commercial and cultural history of one of the last galleons of the Spanish Indies trade.Operated by the Colombian Navy, the Lynx was used in multiple deep-sea survey missions. These missions captured high-resolution
Saab Delivers Another Seaeye Falcon ROV to Subsea Specialist
Saab UK has delivered its 600th Seaeye Falcon remotely operated vehicle (ROV) produced in Fareham, built for international subsea specialist DISA International.The latest addition joins DISA’s growing fleet of Saab Seaeye vehicles and contributes to DISA’s high-performance inspection and survey operations across Europe.The newly delivered Falcon is already at work supporting offshore wind energy operations in Germany, where it is conducting balance of plant inspections and general visual inspections (GVI).The vehicle will soon be deployed to further projects in the Netherlands and Belgium
UCO Grows Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV Fleet
Underwater Contracting (UCO), already owner of the world’s largest fleet of Saab Seaeye Falcon ROVs, has added to its pool through the purchase of five new machines to give it a total of 38 Falcon systems.The Aberdeen, Scotland-headquartered company, a provider of underwater services to the offshore energy, inspection, construction, and aquaculture markets, has expanded its fleet in response to major new multi-year contract wins across all sectors which will see it provide a range of services in Europe, North America and the Middle East.In addition, UCO has made significant investment in additiona
DST Taps Seaeye Falcon for Resarch, Offshore Energy
Italy’s DST (Deep Sea Technology) selected a 1000m-rated Saab Seaeye Falcon DR robotic vehicle to support archaeological research and offshore energy.The Seaeye Falcon DR will be employed by Naples-based DST, a commercial diving business, across its operations supporting offshore energy and maritime archaeology in both shallow and deep waters. The Falcon package includes a Tritech Super SeaPrince sonar and skid-mounted five function manipulator and rope cutter.“The Falcon DR will extend our operational capabilities,” says Alessandro Scuotto, CEO of DST. “It will operate in both
LOTOS Petrobaltic Selects Saab Seaeye Leopard ROV for Subsea Work in Polish Oil Fields
versatility and ability to accommodate far more equipment options for a wider range of tasks. Current tasks include the comprehensive inspection of underwater structures, construction cleaning, cutting, dredging for inspection, basic support for head installations and support for diving teams," Saab Seaeye said.The ROV will be equipped with a survey package to include multi-beam sonar, LIDAR and pipetracker.Their current Leopard configuration includes a Sonardyne DVL/INS survey system, Sprint-Nav INS, Digital Edge recording and event system, five cameras including Kongsberg HD system, also a One
Spanish Navy Adds Saab Seaeye ROV for Submarine Escape and Rescue
A multi-million complete Saab Seaeye Leopard system has been supplied to the Spanish Navy for submarine escape and rescue, and underwater intervention.The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) acquired the Seaeye Leopard electric remotely operated robotic vehicle system for the Spanish Navy to fulfil the responsibilities of the International Submarine Escape and Rescue Liaison Office and provide diving support.It is the first codification by NATO for a remotely operated vehicle meeting their standards. The Leopard also met the Spanish Navy’s full ISO/IEE 15288 standards for remotely operated
Ocean Dynamics Orders Deeper-rated Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV
Canadian company Ocean Dynamics has ordered a second, deeper-rated Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV for the inspection of instrumentation monitoring of the ocean around Canada’s northwest coast and First Nation coastal waters.The company already owns of a 300m-rated Seaeye Falcon.Ocean Dynamics’ President, Josh Chernov says he chose the new 1000m-rated fiber optic Falcon because it can accommodate HD cameras and has the flexibility for integrating more advanced technologies.Chernov says the Falcon has proved to be reliable and able to stay working for longer than other underwater vehicles —
ASI Deploys Falcon ROV in African Croc Infested Waters
ASI Group deployed a Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV into crocodile-infested waters in East Africa, crocodiles which have been preventing manual inspection of remote inland underwater structures supporting East Africa’s power generation.The curious crocodiles soon lost interest in the Seaeye Falcon as the robot ventured into rivers and reservoirs, as well as inside structures and tunnels, to inspect and survey the wide variety of infrastructure supporting five power stations.A truck crane was used to remove covers and stoplogs, and to launch the Falcon into a variety of access locations. The crane’s
