Oceaneering continues to advance its capabilities by developing technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions for customers and its own operations.

Oceaneering’s Peter Buchanan, Director of Products and Services for Subsea Robotics, discusses technology advancements for work class ROVs in the latest Marine Technology Reporter.
“A unified sector has always been important,” Rod Larson said. “As a representative of the industry, I think local, state and federal governments need to understand their constituents are really engaged in a positive way — providing jobs, giving back and being critical parts of the local community.”
Existing work class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are struggling to keep up with the raging tidal currents found at offshore wind and renewable project development areas. Oceaneering was approached to create an ROV solution that would open operational windows in these geographical areas where harsh currents can cause costly project delays.
For OKEA, the goal is not to become a giant that has all the necessary expertise in-house. The strategy is to find the right team for the job. Like when they together with Oceaneering developed a toolbox for locked valves on the Draugen field.
