ABERDEEN, UK -- Sonsub's multipurpose ROV support vessel Bourbon Pearl has completed ElectroMagnetic (EM) offshore exploration for PetroMarker AS in the Barents Sea.

With special features for deepwater intervention, the 91 m (299 ft) DP Class II vessel began operations in June after an ROV support and light construction conversion program.

This included installation of a 100-metric ton active heave compensated crane, helideck, and new accommodation module, plus modifications for installation of the heavy weather Launch and Recovery System (LARS), and a brand new 250 hp ROV.
