The Norway-headquartered marine geoscience and technology firm Shearwater Geoservices AS (Shearwater) has been awarded a seven-weeks North Sea ocean bottom node (OBN) survey, representing the first commercial deployment of the company’s newly installed electric ROVs.
Shearwater informs that the survey will be executed using the SW Tasman with Pearl-nodes, as ROV vessel, supported by the SW Gallien as source vessel.
The survey operations are scheduled to commence imminently following the ROV upgrade.
Irene Waage Basili, CEO of Shearwater, says that “The project marks a significant milestone for Shearwater with the introduction of the new systems as part of the continuous development of our subsea capabilities and integrated OBN offering to further enhance reliability and increase operational efficiency. The SW Tasman has been in strong demand since its launch as a ROV vessel early 2024, and this project both extends that momentum, and marks the first deployment of our electric ROV technology, strengthening our ability to deliver efficient and differentiated OBN solutions.”
