Role
Multi-mission

Scout puts anchoring, excavation and installation capability into one remotely operated platform, with the power and reliability offshore work demands.

Scout is a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), well maintained and configured around safe, efficient drilling and bolting on the seabed. Typical work includes securing cages, setting heavy moorings and fixing bolts into subsea structures. Change the tooling and the vehicle takes on other underwater tasks: the payload defines the mission rather than the vehicle itself.

Scout extends the company’s programme of integrated remote and autonomous offshore working, and broadens what we can put on the seabed. Dredging and intervention scopes that once called for commercial divers can now be run from the surface. That is the point of building systems this way: fewer people in the water, better safety margins, and a steady transfer of intervention work onto remotely operated tooling.

Capability

Capability & specification

Depth rating

Full function down to 500 metres.

Multi-mission

Alternative tool sets open up further underwater scopes.

Simple to operate

Run from the container on excavator-style controls.

Fast to deploy

Lower the vehicle to the seabed and it is working.

Vessel integration

Fibre optic links and vessel-based power feed and monitor the ROV.

Drilling & bolting

Configured for seabed drilling, bolting and heavy mooring work.

Containerised spread

What ships with the vehicle

  • 10 ft Control Container

    Operator position with full command of the vehicle.

  • 10 ft Tool Container

    Holds the working tool set plus an oil separator.

  • 8 ft Transformer Container

    Regulates and distributes the incoming supply.

  • Generator

    Self-contained power for work carried out offshore.

  • ROV Platform & Lowering Winch

    Stable base plus a heavy-duty winch for safe launch and recovery.

The whole spread stays compact and mobile, so it can be fitted to most working vessels.

Use cases

Typical deployments

  • Securing fish farm cages and related offshore aquaculture structures
  • Placing heavy moorings that hold subsea structures in position
  • Bolting work on marine engineering structures below the waterline
  • Routine underwater construction and maintenance scopes
In operation
  • Efficiency: Short mobilisation, quick to reach working state.
  • Safety: Built for controlled mooring and drilling under load.
  • Flexibility: Suits a range of vessels and mission profiles.
  • User-friendly: Familiar controls keep operator training short.
