FET Supplies ROV for River Bed and Offshore Wind Surveys in the United States

Forum Energy Technologies’ (FET) Subsea Product Line, a global leader in subsea robotics, has signed a contract for the sale of an electric Sub Atlantic Super Mohawk II remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and Dynacon Launch and Recovery (LARS) system to a North American subsea organization. The ROV will be used for shallow water operations in the Northeastern United States, marking the company’s first sale for river bed assessments alongside offshore wind farm surveying.

FET’s Observation-Class ROV is known for its ability to operate in harsh environments and undertake a wide variety of underwater tasks. It provides high quality video for inspection work and has capabilities for running underslung tool packages such as tree valve torque tools, high pressure water jetting pumps and small hydraulic or electric manipulators.

FET’s Dynacon team specialises in the custom design and manufacture of winches, and launch and recovery systems. This specific model is designed to deploy, recover and store up to 3,300 meters of 25.4 mm diameter umbilical. Principal components include an A-Frame, ROV Winch with Standard Levelwind, Local Control Station and Electro-Hydraulic Power Unit on a single skid platform.

Kevin Taylor, Vice President – Subsea, said: “This contract represents a milestone, as river bed surveying is a new market for our ROVs and provides a unique opportunity to demonstrate our advanced capabilities in a challenging environment. We are proud to support our client’s mission with a cutting-edge vehicle and our LARS technologies, tailored for precise and efficient operations.”

This latest contract represents another important strategic step for FET, having already agreed contracts in 2024 to provide ROVs to the UK Ministry of Defence Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) unit, a North American ocean research facility and AQUA Exploracion, a Mexican subsea organization.

FET is known globally for manufacturing high quality, robust ROVs and associated auxiliary products for a number of underwater industry applications ranging from oil and gas to renewables, defence, mining and telecommunications, mining, aquaculture and academia.

FET to Supply ROV to UK Ministry of Defence’s Salvage Experts

HOUSTON, TX — October 29, 2024 — Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (FET) today announced that its subsea division secured a contract from the UK Ministry of Defence’s highly specialised Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) unit, to supply a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

ROVs are large adaptable underwater robots with mechanical arms – of similar dexterity to human arms – designed to carry out a variety of tasks, both through the water column and on the seabed. They can also be fitted with a large range of sensors and tools for specific tasks.

The ROV earmarked for SALMO will complement and increase the UK’s existing marine defence salvage and emergency response capabilities. It will be used for a variety of in-water tasks including wreck surveys and salvage response, and can be deployed from various vessels.

The FET ROV system, acquired following a voluntary transparency notice issued this July, is being manufactured at the company’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire. It will be delivered in 2025 with sea trials carried out in the UK.

The contract also includes a two-year support solution, spares package, vessel integration and sea trials support, a training package and the potential for upgrades and additions.

A previously supplied FET ROV was deployed by SALMO in January 2024 to successfully recover the bell of USS Jacob Jones from the depths near the Isles of Scilly after 107 years. The first US Navy destroyer to be sunk during wartime, the ship was torpedoed by a German submarine in 1917 whilst returning to home port after successfully escorting a convoy to Brest. Sixty-six crew members were lost in the attack.

Kevin Taylor, FET’s Vice President Operations – Subsea, said: “We are extremely pleased that FET has been selected again by SALMO for an additional ROV system. This is one of the most versatile systems on the market and has the capabilities required for the tasks that it will undertake for the SALMO team. We look forward to delivering the solution on time next year.”

Andy Liddell, Head of SALMO, said: “A momentous amount of work has gone into preparing what has been a complex contract in a very short time. The project team have pulled together and demonstrated a holistic and agile route to procurement. It was a great feeling to sign the contract and move us into the next stage.”

FET has previously supplied ROVs and submarine rescue vehicles to major navies around the world and has also built emergency life support store (ELSS) pods for the Hellenic Navy. Its products are suited across underwater industry applications, including defence, traditional and sustainable energy, telecommunications, mining, aquaculture and academia.
