CAIRO, Egypt – MCS has introduced the mini-ROV MiniSpector, which is designed to cut the costs of subsea inspection and 3D metrology.

The vehicle can be launched from a platform, which reduces the reliance on additional vessels and equipment.

MCS CEO Wael Bakr said: “The MiniSpector has been designed to be easily carried and deployed and contains built-in 3D Photo Realistic Cloud technology for precise 3D measurement…”

The system provides measurements subsea, up to fabrication accuracy, he added, with a claimed beneficial impact on overall project efficiency and duration, particularly in deepwater measurements.

“Example of tasks the MiniSpector can deliver seamlessly include HD general visual inspection and close video inspection, spool metrology, platform approaches and riser installation.

“With seven horizontal and vertical thrusters [it] provides full control, increased vehicle maneuverability, stability, and payload capabilities to withstand higher currents than other mini ROVs on the market.”
