ABERDEEN, UK – Global Marine Group has awarded Fugro a long-term contract to provide two ROVs and a full survey positioning package on its newly chartered vessel, the Normand Clipper.
Global Marine Group is upgrading the construction support vessel in preparation for projects this summer and both the ROVs and the survey package will be installed for future operations from Fugro’s remote operations center in Aberdeen, Scotland.
As part of the contract, the company will provide two Fugro core vehicles (FCVs) from its FCV600 model portfolio. The FCV600 is a versatile work-class ROV and will allow Fugro to support the Normand Clipper across a range of operations, with primary focus on subsea cable-laying for the offshore utilities and renewables markets.
The FCV600 model can be fitted with a custom-built tracked skid, which improves operability by up to 30% in strong currents compared to free-flying ROVs, the company said.
