Fugro will provide a total of five work-class ROVs for these contracts, each equipped with research tools and spreads that are operational in water depths of up to 3,000 meters.

An ROV spread will be installed on the Solstad AHTS Far Statesman to conduct anchor handling and other underwater support activities.
