Underwater Contracting Ltd (UCO) is excited to be introducing the new #HD3 from JM Robotics the all ELECTRIC ROV and Foover system, doing away with the need for those noisy petrol and diesel pumps! Not only is running all electric better for the environment but it also reduces operating costs and operational noise levels and takes up less space on your vessel. No room for a pump or a generator?

The number of camera repairs we’ve done on our fleet since incorporating them onto our ROV’s has dropped significantly, saving both clients and ourselfs time and money on costly repairs. These can be made to adapt to most ROV’s so if you’re always finding camera repairs a thing then give us a shout and let’s see what we can do for you! sales@underwatercontracting.com Phone: +44 (0) 1224 872861 #ROV #UCO #CameraHood #Protection #entanglement #heavyload #extra

|| Thruster Thursday || An #ROV moves through the water using several #thrusters that propel water, enabling the vehicle to move up, down, forward, backward, left, and right. Getting the right amount of thrust for the right operating environment, the work scope, and the size of the ROV is key. #Thrusters come in all shapes and sizes but here’s a sweet selection of some of ours! All our rental ROV’s fall under observation class ROV’s and are perfect for monitoring, inspection, and surveying, providing comprehensive subsea support. All our ROV’s can be rapidly mobilised to any project site, enhancing versatility and precision of operations. The addition of our jet boost technology, which can be fitted to any of our ROV’s alongside the ROV’s #thrusters, helps even our smaller ROV’s function in stronger tidal areas, increasing the work scope and operating environments of even the smallest of our fleet. If you want to find out how it all works and what’s the right vehicle for you, then drop a message to sales@underwatercontracting.com or call +44 (0) 1224 872861 #UCO #ROV #Thrusters #jetboost #propulsion #tech #newtech #Falcon #Pivot #Revolution
