Sub-Atlantic ROV Mohican

The Mohican Inspection Class ROV system incorporates an enhanced propulsion system allowing it to continue working in high current conditions when other systems have to return to surface, providing a customer benefit of reduced vessel time and costs.

Description

Mohican was specifically developed to cope with the fast moving and unpredictable turbid waters of the southern North
Sea. The ‘dynamic vector’ feature enables the operator to adjust thruster angles on the fly for agile manoeuvring and the
3000v 400Hz power system is particularly suited to long tether excursions and deep liveboating operations. The subCAN
control system provides advanced diagnostics, precise vehicle control and reduced reactive maintenance. Thus, the benefit
of increased dive time, reduced vessel standby and operating costs. The system can be supplied as free flying or with
Tether Management System.
