Forum Subsea Technologies has secured orders from DOF Subsea for the supply of three of its ultra-compact Perry XLX-C operational-grade remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

The Forum reported on Tuesday that DOF Subsea would deploy the vehicles on three of its ROV support vessels for recently awarded projects in Brazil. The ROVs will be manufactured at Forum's UK facility at Kirkbymoorside in Yorkshire and delivered in the first quarter of this year.

The 150 meter rated 2.000HP compact XLX-C vehicles, along with Dynacon LARS compact designs, are the first of their kind to be delivered to market.

According to the company, these latest Perry ROVs are powered by a 150HP main and auxiliary hydraulic system, providing unrivaled thrust in an ROV of this class.

Kevin Taylor, Vice President of Subsea Vehicles at Forum Subsea Technologies, said: “In total, DOF Subsea has more than 60 Forum ROVs in its global fleet. As the market continues to recover from a sustained downturn, it is reassuring to see this continued confidence in our systems, which meet the standards of resiliency and operational security that our customers demand.”

Ingve Osberg, DOF Subsea Group Asset Manager, added: “DOF Subsea is pleased with the Forum and the long relationship providing DOF Subsea with the high quality of remotely operated vehicles including the necessary support for our ROV business.” .
