Performance should further improve with prolonged use, providing increased time savings. * West of Shetland Trials ** Note times for manual operation are approximate based on observations carried out throughout the trials.
Summary of Achievements Operated in West of Shetland and Gulf of Mexico in depths of up to 500m depth So easy that novice personnel can fly Quality and consistency of data much improved Manipulator operations are safer, easier and quicker Operated at up to 1.6 knots cross current and 5 feet heave so far System now turnkey and as per pilot needs System proved to work with observation and work- class ROVs
