FAREHAM, UK – LOTOS Petrobaltic has ordered a Saab’s Seaeye Leopard ROV to help service subsea infrastructure connected to the B3 and B8 oil fields in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea.

The Leopard can perform inspection of underwater structures, construction cleaning, cutting, dredging for inspection, and provide support for head installations and diving teams.

Its design allows for expansion and adaptation of configurations to perform a broad range of measurements and underwater inspections, according to Saab Seaeye. For the Baltic campaign its survey package will include a multi-beam sonar, LIDAR and pipe tracker.

LOTOS Petrobaltic is preparing its supply vessel, Bazalt II, to serve as a dedicated operational platform for the Leopard, including adapting it to receive the LARS system and the customized control cabin.
