Decom Engineering Launches Ultra-Light Chopsaw for Subsea Ops
Northern Ireland-based subsea technology specialist Decom Engineering has developed and deployed a new ultra-light Chopsaw for subsea cutting operations.The C1-16UL Chopsaw represents the most significant advancement in Aberdeen-based Decom's Chopsaw range, specifically engineered for cutting flexible risers and mooring chains under tension, riser turret moorings and deepwater tensioned moorings.The standout feature of the C1-16UL is its weight characteristics - weighing approximately 270 kg in air but just 30 kg in seawater. The weigh reduction offers increased maneuverability with ROVs while
DeepOcean Bolsters Subsea Robotics Fleet with Eight New ROVs
eight new units to its existing fleet.Three new ROVs have recently been delivered, with the remaining five scheduled for delivery over the next four years.In addition, there are 13 further 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
Acteon’s Rocksteady Tension Tool Selected by InnovateUK
cutting, reducing the risk of line abrasion or tangling.Acteon will collaborate with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, which supports the InnovateUK iX program, and floating offshore wind developer Flotation Energy to advance the RSTT toward commercial and technical readiness. The technology has already progressed through concept feasibility engineering, including sizing calculations and static installation analysis. The InnovateUK iX program will support the next phases, including small- and large-scale testing. Jack Paterson, Team Leader at Floating Offshore Wind at ORE Catapult
MODEC and Terra Drone Renew FPSO Drone Inspection Partnership
builds upon the joint R&D contract signed by the companies in 2024, following significant achievements in improving measurement accuracy, enhancing safety, and reducing inspection time.The renewed partnership aims to further advance the practical application and operational deployment of this technology.On FPSOs, periodic structural inspections are indispensable, but must be performed in parallel with production operations by a limited number of crew members.“The ability to safely perform inspections without increasing the number of personnel onboard offers a significant advantage.By innovating
NKT Picks OSBIT to Deliver ‘World’s Most Powerful’ Subsea Trencher
