DOF orders two ROVs from FMC Technologies

DOF Subsea has signed a contract with FMC Technologies for two new Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) from the Schilling Robotics business line.

FMC Technologies said on Tuesday that the HD and UHD-III ROVs will be delivered in December 2016. These ROVs will be utilized by DOF Subsea for its Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR) operations in Eastern Canada.

According to FMC Technologies, while designed for robust capabilities, the company’s ROV system maintenance is simple with comprehensive system diagnostics and intuitive maintenance solutions.

Sub-systems are designed to be quickly maintained without any requirement for advanced technical skills or specific system knowledge, the company added.

“We’ve partnered with DOF Subsea for the last decade and this award, in these difficult market conditions, represents the continued strength of our relationship,” said Tyler Schilling, President of FMC Technologies Schilling Robotics.”
