ABERDEEN, UK – DOF Subsea has ordered two 200HP Perry XLX-C work-class ROVs from Forum Energy Technologies Inc. (FET).
The systems will be manufactured at FET’s UK facility in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, and are expected to be delivered in the second half of 2021.
The compact 200HP XLX-C is said to deliver high performance in a small form factor, which is increasingly requested in many projects globally. These vehicles are the first of their kind to be delivered to the market boasting this footprint and capability, the company claimed.
FET has increased the power available on the ROV to suit the current specifications required by DOF Subsea and its prospective clients. It features an auxiliary hydraulic circuit that is said to be capable of meeting the most demanding of contractual requirements, paired with a high payload capacity to carry additional tools.
Ingve Osberg, DOF Subsea Group Asset Manager, said: “Having a fleet majority of FET Perry ROVs allows us to maximize standardization of ROV equipment and spares for flexible use in all regions. We can also readily find qualified personnel with experience of ICE control systems, and are able to be provided with 24-hour support in all of the DOF ROV operational regions.”
