Widely regarded as the leading observation and inspection vehicle within the oil and gas industry, the Tiger is also increasingly chosen by defence and marine science seeking increased capability in deep water.
The Tiger is a very stable platform, with excellent manoeuvrability and performance in strong currents. Its open frame construction and generous payload offer the possibility of adding a wide range of tools and sensors as well as interchangeable tool skids.
The Tiger is available as a free-swimming vehicle down to depths of 450m. For greater depths down to 1000m, a Tether Management System (TMS) is available.
Five thrusters provide a stable platform for observation, inspection and diver support.
Internationally regarded as the industry standard observation and inspection vehicle.
Engineered design options to deliver results even for the most challenging of projects.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and a 19 inch colour monitor. An additional hand control unit is available for systems fitted with a manipulator skid.
Standard Twisted Pair or Fibre Optic option used for data and video transmission.
Operated as a free swimming ROV with up to 450 m of umbilical. Optional Type 2 Tether Management System (TMS) available for depths up to 1000 m.
Additional deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming Tigers, a containerised system with winch and launch davit or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
ROV rated to 1000 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and one vertical thruster, electronics pod, two LED lights, a compass and a depth sensor for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
With a 32kg payload, a wide range of accessories can be added as required.
