DeepOcean Bolsters Subsea Robotics Fleet with Eight New ROVs
units available as options. The program marks a significant step forward in the adoption of modern electric ROV technology and will support more sustainable subsea operations going forward.“Our operating model is founded on engineering, project management, proprietary technology, an extensive subsea tool pool, ROVs and a versatile subsea fleet.“The ROVs serve as our eyes and hands on the seabed, playing a vital role in this equation. We have collaborated closely with Kystdesign for 26 years, and we are excited to take the development to the next level, together,” says Øyvind

Flangeless Subsea Plug Launcher for Pipeline Upgrade
. It was during this time that Statoil asked Balltec to investigate the possibility of designing and manufacturing a subsea plug launcher to their unique specifications. The plug launcher was built on technology used in Balltec’s recently developed flangeless subsea PIG launcher, a subsea tool used to deploy a PIG into a pipeline without the need for a bolted flange connection or diver intervention. The existing technology was significantly re-designed to accommodate a larger smart plug of 4.5 m in length with a mass of 1,500 kg. The plug launcher gripping mechanism was built to withstand

Swire Seabed’s other mobile subsea assets include a 6,000 metres depth rated Argus Bathysaurus XL WROV, a Sperre Subfighter 15k observation ROV and the Seabed Excavator, a cutting-edge multi-purpose subsea tool carrier and dredging vehicle. This is in addition to the six WROVs permanently installed on Swire Seabed’s dedicated subsea vessels. Both the WROVs and LARS are designed for harsh and challenging environments and can be easily transported and mobilised on board Offshore Support
J2 Subsea Opens Subsea Tooling Facility in Houston
J2 Subsea, an Acteon company, informs it has opened a new subsea tooling facility at sister Acteon company, Seatronics’, subsea electronics location in Houston. The new facility marks the next stage in J2 Subsea’s global expansion plan, the company said. North American customers can now access a suite of subsea equipment for diver and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) applications. The new facility includes a workshop for tool preparation, servicing and support. It will provide torque tools, analyzers, cutters, manipulators, intensifier panels, grinders, dirty work packs, jetters
GROW Funding Nurtures New Subsea Tech
Offshore Marine Management (OMM) has secured GROW:OffshoreWind funding to build a new subsea tool which aims to reduce project costs and improve health and safety offshore. The new tool has been designed using OMM’s experiences of working offshore and its technology will bring time savings during offshore operations, consequently driving down associated vessel, equipment, vessel and personnel costs. The subsea tool, which is currently being constructed by Darlington-based Subsea Innovation, will see improvements during the installation phase by removing the need for deep
