Scottish ROV specialist Aleron Subsea has won its first contract for its new hybrid Trackrov technology which involves supporting clearance work on a project in the Netherlands.
The Trackrov, following a six-figure R&D investment sum, has been hired to carry out unexploded ordnance (UXO) identification surveys at an unnamed offshore wind farm.
The vehicle can be deployed from a small ROV A-frame or vessel crane and is fitted with a PanGeo Sub Bottom Imager (SBI).
Aleron Subsea technical director Mike Bisset said: “Trackrov was designed to support multiple tasks for clients who require seabed operations completed around the world in regions known for their challenging tide and current conditions.
“It was a complex task but one we have met head on thanks to the engineering skills of our in-house team and their experience in supporting other similar projects in the renewables and oil and gas arenas.”
