Flying Start for Nearshore ROV
01 Jul 2002
Since production began in May of this year, Seaeye has sold 12 of their new portable 300m rated Falcon ROV systems, which are aimed at the professional coastal and inshore market for underwater inspection, survey and search applications.
The first systems are destined for Korea, Singapore, UAE, Canada, Denmark, America, the Italian and British navies as well as two for luxury yachts.
Falcon incorporates many of the features pioneered by Seaeye for the demands of the offshore industry while adding some that are new. These include distributed intelligence and magnetically coupled brushless DC thrusters with velocity feedback that develop a horizontal thrust of 50kg and a mighty 1:1 power to weight ratio.
