As companies develop inspection tools for deployment in deeper water, considerable effort is invested in eliminating impediments that could compromise performance and meet the challenge of deepwater pipeline inspections.
As global operators search for innovative and cost-saving subsea solutions, projects like the Oceaneering E-ROV (a resident ROV) system are proving that deviating from the norm has enormous potential.
Robotic systems are moving closer toward being able to “live” in subsea docking stations, as permanently installed subsea resident vehicles.
