BOURBON and Schilling Hail New ROVs

Bourbon Subsea Services and Schilling Robotics have announced a new generation of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) designed for submarine Inspection, Maintenance and Repair of offshore fields.

The HD ROV is well suited both for precision work and for handling loads up to 3000 kilos in waters ranging up to 3000 meters in depth.

Due to the robot's small size, its launch system and tools are easily transportable. They can be quickly sent to the scene of operations as necessitated by the situation. By taking delivery of two, Bourbon Subsea Services plans to take delivery of two additional HD ROVs in the latter half of the year, thus expanding the range of services in its fleet. These newly acquired vehicles will serve as a complement to the existing UHD ROV's (pictured) at Bourbon's disposal.
