Taut Wire Joins STR Inventory

Subsea Technology & Rentals Ltd (STR) announced the addition of SMT’s Light Weight Taut Wire to their equipment sales and rental inventory. STR signed an exclusive sales agency agreement to promote and sell SMT Taut Wire product globally.

Key benefits of this system include its vertical height when stowed, the very small hydraulic power pack used to raise and lower the boom arm into position and the fact that only three small cables are required for installation into the vessel’s Dynamic Positioning system (plus two power cables between the power supplies and taut wire).  Compared to other systems on the market these benefits significantly reduce installation time and cost, footprint on deck and shipping costs.
