Cable barge AMT Explorer capsized and probably sank in Mediterranean sea some 50 miles southwest of Sardinia island southern tip on July 3, while towed, reportedly, by a tug Red Husky. Barge was en route from Naples cable factory to Bremerhaven, with cable worth euro 28 million, which was to connect wind farms in North Sea offshore.  FMC Technologies has received new orders from Delta SubSea (DSS) for HD59 and HD60 ROVs for delivery in July 2014.
The company’s Schilling Robotics business unit entered into a frame agreement with Delta SubSea for the supply of work-class ROV systems in 2013, to supply a fleet of state-of-the-art ROV systems over the next several years.

 MacArtney has supplied a TRIAXUS remotely operated towed underwater vehicle to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency, and one of the largest and most diverse agencies in the world.

A new poll has been added to the site (look to the left of the main page).
All votes are anonymous.  Canyon has McDermott award for ROVs services across construction and pipelay support vessels. Three years plus options is duration. Canyon will mobilise dual work ROV spreads as required and is initially expected to cover North Ocean-102, North Ocean-105, newbuild North Ocean-108, and newbuild DLV-2000. Mid-2014 is expected to see first mobilisation with six systems on three vessels.  DeepOcean has opted for the new concept Leopard ROV from Saab Seaeye.
Seen as the most powerful ROV of its size in the world, its combination of 11 thrusters, unrivalled payload, and a host of advanced technology features won over DeepOcean, which itself is an innovator in providing subsea services.
“It’s a pioneering design from Saab Seaeye - a company with a track record of innovation,” says Rick Green, Regional Manager Netherlands at DeepOcean, “and will be a valuable addition to our fleet. |
