The 60-metre vessel will be put to work on the company’s growing number of secured subsea survey campaigns for windfarms across UK waters.

“This agreement marks the continuation of a strong working relationship between Rovco and Glomar Offshore, with multiple projects already secured for the Worker, until autumn 2022,” said Simon Miller, Managing Director of Rovco.

These projects will use Rovco’s dedicated team of experts and equipment, such as the Seaeye Leopard electric work-class ROV, which is fitted with SubSLAM X2 technology powered by Rovco’s sister company, Vaarst, to collect high-quality data in the shortest time possible.

The package will then be available to support additional projects, such as subsea asset integrity surveys, precise 3D modelling of seabed infrastructure, cable and pipeline surveys, and decommissioning support.

The Glomar Worker was originally built in 2008 with an extensive rebuild in 2020. With accommodation for up to 44 personnel, the vessel has a combined deck space of 497m2 and an SMST Active Heave Compensated crane for multi-purpose subsea operations.
