Ultra-heavy-duty ROV
Schilling Robotics has sold an UHD 05 ultra-heavy-duty hydraulic ROV to Phoenix International’s Subsea Projects Group. The 3,500-metre, 150-shp ROV system will add extremely heavy lifting capacity to Phoenix’s ROV fleet. The system, which will be the first UHD to operate in the Gulf of Mexico, is scheduled for delivery in May 2006. The UHD system includes Schilling’s new Digital Telemetry System, automatic control functions such as StationKeep, and Schilling’s new XE extended-excursion hydraulic TMS.
