"The new mobile WROV systems will strengthen Swire Seabed’s ability to provide subsea services globally."

The vehicles will be used to support Swire Pacific Offshore’s fleet of more than 80 OSVs, and other third-party vessels.

The versatile Class III-B (NORSOK) work-class 150HP Kystdesign Supporter WROV has been designed for construction and survey applications to a depth of 3,000m and has the ability to work in harsh operating environments.

Available with a robust design, the Lidan LARS is suitable for operations in remote areas and is easily transported by road, sea and air.

The active heave compensation (AHC) system has the capability to be easily upgraded for AHC operations.

In December 2014, Swire Seabed collaborated with WeSubsea to design a new multipurpose subsea tool carrier and dredging vehicle Seabed Excavator, which is capable of working at water depths of 2,500m.
