Seatrax Singapore ROV Contract

  19/07/2010
Singapore diving contractor Seatrax Singapore has contracted with subsea specialist Sub-Atlantic Asia Pacific to further strengthen its subsea services capability with their first electric work class ROV. The Comanche was chosen for its reliability, high power to weight ratio, hydraulic systems and to carry out work class tasks such as torque tool operations, drill support and survey projects. The system has been ordered as a Zone 2 certified unit which will compliment Seatrax Singapore's operational capability in the drilling / intervention support and construction market.



The contract will see Sub-Atlantic supply a 2000 metre rated Comanche system with a delivery schedule that aligns with Seatrax Singapore's growing contract awards in the Asia Pacific region. The delivery time from contract to acceptance is less than four months, with delivery planned for December 2010.

 

The system is equipped with a 3000m rated LARS, type 3B TMS with 600m of tether, hydraulic power pack, Orion 7 and four function manipulators, survey sensors, multiple camera and sensor interfaces and additional payload upgrade. The system will allow Seatrax Singapore to offer their clients power, tooling intervention, hazardous working area certified and all in a package that requires far less deck space than the traditional and less capable drill support ROVs.


Sub-Atlantic, part of Aberdeen-based Triton Group, will provide interface and installation service from its Asia Pacific base in Singapore. Immediately following delivery, the ROV will be set up in the Sub-Atlantic Asia Pacific base to perform client trials and testing of torque tools before being deployed between Seatrax Singapore Pte Ltd's existing and newly awarded projects.

The Comanche Remote operated Vehicle has a lot of glitch.

Hope the person knows what to check during the F.A.T, good luck.

This movie includes an example of the discovery of two sunken WWI submarines off the Orkney Islands.
