Rovco’s purchase of the Seaeye Leopard is the latest investment in their asset pool, which strategically increases their capability to serve a growing number of customers. This high-performance electric ‘Fast ROV’ work-class platform, known to function well in difficult conditions, increases Rovco’s service offering to support wind farm installation and maintenance projects throughout the lifecycle of subsea related tasks. Rovco aims to serve customers’ needs in areas such as construction support, seabed, cable and pipeline investigations and intervention, and this vehicle backs up the firm’s capability to deliver on its £15 million+ pipeline of upcoming work and will bolster the range of their already growing portfolio of subsea projects.
The Seaeye Leopard is designed to offer customers an exceptionally powerful electric work-class ROV. The Leopard’s technical features and impressive performance enables greater workability and station keeping, opening up wider operational weather windows, and thereby increasing project efficiency through reduced downtime. The vehicle’s design along with a compact Launch and Recovery spread, allows for fast mobilisation and demobilisation to and from a wider range of vessels without the need for extensive modifications to the deck to support the setup. The all-electric design combined with these typically smaller host vessels helps reduce project CO2 emissions and lowers the overall cost of projects to Rovco’s customers.
