New ROV for Pilot Training
Hands-on ROV operational training at Abel's dedicated global ROV training facility in Crotone (Italy), has been further enhanced with the introduction of the Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV. Pilots and technicians get direct experience onboard Abel's M/V Sea Explorer, both in the harbour premises and in open sea. This includes 12hr shift work, pre-post dive checks, umbilical management and pilot skills, in different conditions and locations.
Theory on electronics, hydraulics, safety and life offshore is learnt at the Abel base onshore. The facility offers ROV training across the industry to pilots and technicians from around the world.
The Falcon system supplied to Abel is equipped with a high-definition colour camera and low-light B/W camera; a Tritech SeaPrince panoramic sonar, and a Single Function, 3 Jaw Manipulator, and Rope Cutter.
