FET’s Observation-Class ROV is known for its ability to operate in harsh environments and undertake a wide variety of underwater tasks. It provides high quality video for inspection work and has capabilities for running underslung tool packages such as tree valve torque tools, high pressure water jetting pumps and small hydraulic or electric manipulators.
FET’s Dynacon team specializes in the custom design and manufacture of winches, and launch and recovery systems. This specific model is designed to deploy, recover and store up to 3,300m of 25.4mm diameter umbilical. Principal components include an A-Frame, ROV Winch with Standard Levelwind, Local Control Station and Electro-Hydraulic Power Unit on a single skid platform.
This latest contract represents another important strategic step for FET, having already agreed contracts in 2024 to provide ROVs to the UK Ministry of Defence Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) unit, a North American ocean research facility and AQUA Exploracion, a Mexican subsea organization.
