Romica Engineering Ltd (REL) have signed a contract with The U.K.’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) to provide four umbilical winches, allowing NOC to facilitate seismic and towed ocean bottom instrument operations at sea with self-contained systems providing the ability to move between platforms of opportunity as required. 
 
Thes 100-meter capacity winch systems are multipurpose; they will be used for the deployment of both Bolt and GI airgun systems and also available for other large diameter umbilical deployments (eg Towed Ocean Bottom Instrument). As the winches are self contained, enclosed within suitable bump frames to prevent damage in transit and fit in a standard 20-foot soft top ISO container, they can be easily cross decked between NOC vessels.
