Technical Detail
The Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) “Ocean Modules V8 Offshore” is in service since 2010/2011 and has been used primarily in Swedish territorial waters but also onboard the German research icebreaker “Polarstern” in southern summer season 2015/2016 in the south-eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica.
In 2015 the ROV system was upgraded with a 20 foot HC Control and Transport container together with a mobile winch (MacArtney type MERMAC R10 / 2125/16, 2-23.5 AHC)
The ROV was primarily used for marine biological research projects (monitoring, visual inspection of cold water coral reefs, Antarctic benthos communities, in situ experimentation). But the system may also be used for projects in physical/chemical oceanography and marine geology.
The ROV system is mobile and containerized, thus operations are possible world-wide including the Arctic and Antarctic depending on sea-ice conditions.

All potential users of the ROV are obliged to submit applications for ship-time via a web-portal (http://skagerak.gu.customer.i8t.com/).
The ROV system is mobile and containerized, thus operations are possible world-wide including the Arctic and Antarctic depending on sea-ice conditions. The ROV will be available year-round according to an annual cruise plan.
Equipment transportation costs up to a maximum amount will be covered by Eurofleets+. Users should contact EurofleetsPlus@marine.ie prior to submitting an application to ensure shipment costs from their location are covered.
