Contracts for ROV systems
HD™ ROV system
A total of three new ROV systems will be supplied to Subsea 7 S.A., a seabed-to-surface engineering, construction and services contractor to the offshore energy industry. Delivery is scheduled in Q2 2011, including one 3,000m rated ACV ROV system and two 3,000m rated HD™ ROV systems. The ACV ROV system is an addition to Subsea 7’s existing fleet of construction vessels and will be mobilized on Subsea 7’s new pipelay/heavy lift vessel, the "Seven Borealis". The ACV is siad to be capable of performing the most demanding subsea construction tasks and has a comprehensive track record for delivering both performance and reliability. The HD™ ROV system is a work-class vehicle which provides flexibility for construction and inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) applications. The HD’s™ integrated system design leverages modular sub-systems for ease of maintenance, and provides the most on-board space available in a mid-size vehicle for integrating specialized intervention tooling. Subsea 7 will mobilize the HD systems to support ROV-based IMR work in the Norwegian Sea and North Sea.
Another contract award covers two ROV systems for the specialist subsea service company DOF Subsea. The award is for one UHD™ ROV system and one HD™ ROV system. Deliveries of the ROVs are scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2011.
