Optimize Your Operations
Our integrated USV services deliver an efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to vessel supported operations. Our services reduce the need for multi-service vessels (MSVs) to stay on site for survey and inspection scopes, reducing carbon footprint and increasing efficiency.
Reduce Vessel Days
Lower HSE Risks and Carbon Emissions
Increase Efficiency
Operational Flexibility
Our USV service can conduct both remote-controlled and supervised autonomous operations while offering outstanding seakeeping and speed capabilities. The USV's shape and stability allows for continued operations alongside Oceaneering’s Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in poor sea conditions found offshore (up to sea state 5), without compromising data quality. The USV's speed and endurance also reduces transit downtime and enables high speed nearshore survey, obtaining optimal data quality that is harvested in a fraction of the usual times.
True, Dual Redundancy
We have equipped the USV with two completely independent correction services offered by Oceaneering C-NAV ®, including the C-NAV® CNAV-X1 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. While most USVs rely on the same, single correction service our system has been designed to provide you with the industry’s highest level of redundancy, delivering peace of mind and guaranteed continuity of service.
Track and Communicate with AUVs
Traditional survey and asset inspection operations require a multi-service vessel with crew onboard to remain on location to track the position of subsea assets including AUVs. Our USV service enables you to release the mother vessel for concurrent work scopes while the USV is paired up with an AUV – including Oceaneering’s Freedom™ AUV.
Enhanced AUV Tracking
Equipped with true, dual redundancy, Oceaneering USV services support enhanced tracking of AUVs, removing the requirement for multi-service vessel support during work scopes.
