Sonar And Camera Package for Fugro Work Class ROV System
Fugro has contracted Kongsberg Maritime to supply an extensive suite of cameras and scanning sonars for 8 new generation Work Class ROV Systems, being produced by Fugro at their in-house Design and Build facility in Singapore. The package includes six HDTV Colour Zoom cameras for specialist survey and intervention tasks as well as two additional suites of equipment for other plans for the Fugro ROV Fleet. Fugro will invest EUR 30 million (equivalent US$ 37.7 million) before the end of 2007 with the new Work Class ROV Systems developed as a phased replacement strategy to update its existing ROV fleet. The oe14-500 underwater HDTV Colour Zoom camera is designed to be used for all high-quality ROV inspection, intervention and survey tasks, reflecting the requirements of Fugro's client base. The camera has an inbuilt 2.7 mega pixel digital stills photographic capability.
