Hysub ROV for Fukada Salvage and Marine Works
International Submarine Engineering Ltd has announced that it is pleased to deliver a new Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and Tether Management System (TMS) to Fukada Salvage and Marine Works Co. Ltd. This HYSUB 100HP ROV is a multi-purpose vehicle that will be used for scientific and commercial purposes as well as inspecting and salvaging seafloor items.
Designed to operate from one of Fukada’s new research vessels, the ROV has a 2,000m depth rating. The ROV is equipped with thrusters, sensors, six lights, eight cameras, ISE’s Magnum Manipulator and other auxiliary equipment needed to carry out the vast requirements for Fukada’s subsea operations.
The new HYSUB ROV complements Fukada’s existing fleet of ISE ROVs, renamed HAKUYO, that includes a 150HP 3,000m depth ROV, as well as the recently built Explorer Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).
To accommodate its expanding fleet of ROVs, Fukada received a new ROV handling system built by Hawboldt Industries out of Nova Scotia, Canada.
