Widely regarded as the leading observation and inspection vehicle within the oil and gas industry, the Tiger is also increasingly chosen by defence and marine science seeking increased capability in deep water.
The Tiger is a very stable platform, with excellent manoeuvrability and performance in strong currents. Its open frame construction and generous payload offer the possibility of adding a wide range of tools and sensors as well as interchangeable tool skids.
The Tiger is available as a free-swimming vehicle down to depths of 450m. For greater depths down to 1000m, a Tether Management System (TMS) is available.
Five thrusters provide a stable platform for observation, inspection and diver support.
Internationally regarded as the industry standard observation and inspection vehicle.
Engineered design options to deliver results even for the most challenging of projects.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. Additional hand control units are included fitted with ROVs fitted with a manipulator skid.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea.
Fibre Optic MUX with video, serial data and Ethernet interfaces.
Available as a free-swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 1000m.
ROV rated to 1000m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and one vertical thruster supplied with 250 Volts DC. The ROV pod provides interfaces for Thrusters, LED lights, multiple cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state compass, supporting vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
Deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming ROV or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
