University Bremen – MARUM, Germany,
November 22nd-24th 2022
The EurofleetsPlus “ROV Lab”
Scientific ROV Teams do not only need a solid technological background and detailed understanding of their system, but also need to handle the special requirements of scientific ROV operations and requests of the scientific community. Scientific ROV operations differ decisively from those in the oil and gas industry in terms of cruise/dive planning, payload integration, post dive procedures to name but a few. The EurofleetsPlus ROV Lab will address the specific demands of scientific ROV diving in several class workshops and hands on practice which are usually not covered by offshore ROV training courses.
Workshop overview
The ROV Lab workshop is organized within the scope of the EurofleetsPlus training program and will be held at MARUM – Center for Environmental Sciences, University Bremen, Germany. The three days workshop (22nd-24th of November 2019) is offered to European research-ROV Pilots/Technicians with no or basic experience and knowledge of ROV operations and technology.
The workshop will cover topics such as dive preparation or mobilization in class courses as well as manipulator exercises and training dives in the ROV QUEST Simulator and in the outside test-pool with the ROV MARUM Squid.
