SNK Ocean Co Ltd Orders ISE Hysub ROV

International Submarine Engineering, Canada, has agreed to build another HYSUB Remotely Operated System (ROV) for SNK Ocean Co, a Japanese marine services company based out of Tokyo. SNK will be provided with a 100HP ROV with depth capability to 2,000 metres.

This 100HP ROV with TMS joins several other ISE ROVs that SNK has in its fleet. The ROV will be outfitted to perform tasks that will assist biological studies.  SNK enhances its services with an ROV that will include six thrusters, four forward and two vertical, support for six lights, eight cameras, Imagenex sonar, collection basket with hydraulic door with the skid, tether management system, and ISE’s control system, ACE.    

Vehicle delivery is scheduled for March, 2013. In 2010, ISE provided SNK with a 150HP 3,000m depth HAKUYO ROV, together with a custom-designed jet skid for cable burial operations.

SNK’s fleet of ISE ROVs, renamed HAKUYO, cover all operations required for the company, including cable burial, salvage, research and survey, making SNK one of Japan’s largest full service subsea equipment and service suppliers. The company provides marine vehicles including offshore construction equipment for resource missions, wreck and salvage operations.
