    POTTERROW, Edinburgh — Rovco has further bolstered its fleet to support its growth in offshore wind by signing a charter party agreement with Glomar Offshore for the Glomar Worker dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, according to a recent Rovco news release.

    The 60-m-long DP2 multipurpose offshore support vessel is another addition to Rovco’s fleet.

    The Glomar Worker will be put to work on the company’s secured subsea survey campaigns for major U.K. operational offshore wind farms.

    Via the Glomar Worker, Rovco will deliver high-quality subsea surveys and specialized offshore projects, leveraging the company’s comprehensive tooling spread, disruptive technology and high-quality data reporting platforms. This includes powerful Seaeye Leopard electric work-class ROVs, which are fitted with SubSLAM X2 technology powered by Rovco’s sister company, Vaarst.

    “This agreement marks the continuation of a strong working relationship between Rovco and Glomar Offshore, with multiple projects already secured for the Worker, until autumn 2022," said Simon Miller, Rovco managing director. "Following this, the highly efficient and versatile package will be available to support additional subsea projects, with the capacity to deliver Rovco’s wide portfolio of solutions across the full asset life cycle, including subsea asset integrity surveys, precise 3D modeling of seabed infrastructure, cable and pipeline survey, and decommissioning support."
