The order for ROVs includes two 200HP XLX-Cs, which were delivered and mobilized at the end of 2022, as well as two 200HP XLX Evo IIs, to be delivered in the second quarter of 2023.

“The four new ROVs, which now share so many common systems and components among themselves, will bring a mix of benefits of smaller footprint through the XLX-C, as well as greater payload from the platform and stability advantages through the XLX Evo II, depending on the task at hand,” said Mark Ainsworth, customer account manager at Forum Energy Technologies in DOF Subsea.

The representative of Forum concluded by reinforcing that he hopes the new contract for the remote vehicles can contribute to the company’s business portfolio.

Forum Energy Technologies revealed that the hydraulic systems of the XLX Evo II have been redesigned according to this contract and now share a much larger number of common components with the XLX-Cs.

This allows for even greater quality of the equipment for the commonality of parts and subsequent availability.

All ROVs that will be used by DOF Subsea in its offshore operations were built in the United Kingdom in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire.
